While some of the shakhas are owned by Thackeray faction some are owned by private parties but are in former’s control, a letter submitted to the top cop said.

“A conspiracy is being hatched by Shinde group to seize the party offices by force. Many have been seized. So far, we have exercised restraint. But if there is any law-and-order problem, the entire responsibility will remain with Shinde group,” Vichare said.

He was accompanied by leaders such as Madhukar Deshmukh and Kedar Dighe, Thane district chief.

Singh could not be reached for his comments.
