A joint commissioner of the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation, who was taking action against illegal constructions in the area, was allegedly beaten up by a local BJP activist to whom the constructions belonged.

To protest against this, the UMC remained shut throughout the day on Tuesday and will also be closed till the cops arrest the accused, Kapil Adsul, and his supporters. A case has been registered with the Hill Line police station. The incident occurred in Ulhasnagar Number 3, in front of Gawde School where Adsul had built several illegal shops.
