In Navi Mumbai, things took a violent turn after the bandh was called off in the afternoon. Protesters thrashed police personnel and pelted stones at them and at citizens, and even forced children to get out of their schoolbus.

Around 5 pm at Kopar Khairane, the mob stopped a passing school bus. Eyewitness Akshay Mhatre recalled, "There were 12 to 13 students inside and the mob made them get down. They were shouting at the children for going to school when there was a bandh. I tried to take a video of the incident, but two of the protesters threw my mobile phone aside."
