Ten people were acquitted by the Mumbai Magistrate court on Tuesday in a 20-year-old case in which members of the Shiv Sena had allegedly attacked and ransacked NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal's official bungalow near Mantralaya.

In July 1997, Shiv Sainiks allegedly gathered near Bhujbal’s bungalow A-10 near Mantralaya. After almost an hour, the mob attacked his bungalow from all sides. The Sainiks broke down all the doors of the bungalow and also smashed the furniture, a telephone, and a photocopy machine. They also allegedly shredded files and set a bonfire of the debris near his house. The complaint was filed with the Cuffe Parade Police who arrested the accused.
