However, they have not been identified yet and our investigation is in progress,” Talegaonkar added. No one sustained injuries in the incident.

According to the Vile Parle police, around 2 pm on Thursday, the accused arrived in an SUV while two of them rode a motorbike at the television channel’s office located at Parsi Panchayat Road in Andheri (east).

They then started pelting stones at the office and a few glasses of the building were reportedly broken.

Trivedi was booked under sedition charges for his cartoons displayed at MMRDA ground in December last year.

The charges were recently revoked by the Maharashtra government.
