The Shiv Sena, which has taken an aggressive stance against those making offensive comments on its leaders or the party, will take legal action against them. The legal cell of the Shiv Sena will also act against those using abusive language on social media against the CM or ministers of the MVA government. It has already filed eight FIRs against those using abusive language against the CM and the government on social media.

The legal cell is also acting against those spreading rumours. On July 25 a woman, Sunaina Hole, posted offensive photos and text on her Twitter handle against CM Uddhav Thackeray and Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray. She was arrested after the legal team registered an FIR in the case.
