Clash between rival party workers in Bhiwandi leaves six injured, two cops hurt
Earlier this month, six people, including two police personnel, were injured in a clash between workers of two rival parties in Bhiwandi town of Maharashtra’s Thane district, officials said.
Activists of the Konark Vikas Aghadi (KVA), a local political outfit, allegedly hurled stones and ransacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) office during the violence late on Sunday night, forcing police to resort to a lathicharge to restore order, they said.
The violence broke out at Shivaji Chowk between KVA and BJP activists, apparently triggered by tensions following the recently concluded Bhiwandi Nizampur Municipal Corporation elections.
Videos circulating on social media showed people throwing stones as police intervened to disperse the crowd.
“It was a murderous attack on BJP activists at the party office by our rivals. They even attempted to raid my residence unsuccessfully,” local BJP MLA Mahesh Chowgule alleged, PTI reported.
He further claimed that some people manhandled police personnel during the incident.
However, KVA functionary Vilas Patil dismissed the allegations, asserting that BJP activists had initiated the violence and that KVA members were the victims.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone-II) Shashikant Borate said six individuals — including a police officer, a constable, and four political workers (two from each side) — sustained injuries and were undergoing treatment at a local hospital, PTI reported.
Police resorted to a lathi charge to disperse the rioters, he said.
The situation is currently under control, and heavy security has been deployed in the area to prevent further escalation, an official from the Thane city police control room said.
The Nizampura police are in the process of registering a case in connection with the incident, officials added.
In the January 15 elections to the 90-member Bhiwandi Nizampur Municipal Corporation, the Congress secured 30 seats, followed by the BJP with 22. The KVA won four seats.
The Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Sharad Pawar’s NCP (SP) bagged 12 seats each, the Samajwadi Party won six seats, the Bhiwandi Vikas Aghadi (Ekta Manch) secured three seats, while one seat went to an independent candidate.
