With the Maharashtra elections fast approaching, political tensions in the state have escalated, with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena accusing members of Shiv Sena (UBT) of attacking its women workers in the Jogeshwari assembly constituency.

The incident reportedly took place on the night of Tuesday, November 12, at the Jogeshwari Matoshree Club, where workers from the two factions of Shiv Sena clashed. According to Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) leader Sheetal Mhatre, women workers of her party were physically attacked by UBT workers, who allegedly tore their clothes and filmed the assault.
