The poll season seems to have revived the ghosts of fabled police rivalries of the past. With a short Instagram post on Wednesday evening, the late Vijay Salaskar's daughter Divya brought past memories flooding for the city's old-timers. Divya's post was in support of Kshitij Thakur, the sitting Nalasopara MLA and Bahujan Vikas Aghadi candidate. Thakur's opponent is Pradeep Sharma (Shiv Sena), Mumbai's most storied encounter cop.

Salaskar, who died on the night of 26/11 terror attacks, and Sharma were said to have been rivals back in their time, and Divya's open support for his opponent has caused flutters in police and political circles.
