Sushil Kedia Issues Clarification On Marathi Language Row As MNS Workers Vandalise Office

Five supporters of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena were arrested on Saturday for the attack on investor Sushil Kedia's office in Worli here over the latter's social media post about not learning Marathi and his kya karna hai bol dare to Raj Thackeray. In response, the MNS supporters shouting slogans in support of Thackeray and Marathi had thrown coconuts at the glass door entrance of Kedia's office this morning, with videos of the attack going viral on social media immediately.

According to news agency PTI, the security personnel posted at the site can be seen trying to thwart the attack in vain, while office staff attempted to down shutters to avoid getting hit by the coconuts.

A total of five MNS supporters have been detained in connection with the attack, and a further probe into the incident is underway, reports news agency PTI, quoting a Worli police station official.
