Kirit Somaiya accuses Shiv Sena goons of attacking him at Khar Police Station

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kirit Somaiya claimed he was injured in alleged stone-pelting by Shiv Sena workers in Mumbai on April 23. Somaiya has now reached Bandra Police Station following the alleged attack on him. In a series of Twitter posts, Somaiya said, "Heavy stone-throwing at Khar Police Station by Shiv Sena gundas (goons), my car window glass broken, I am injured, rushing to Bandra police station," Somaiya said. "I am shocked, in the presence of 50 police persons, on the campus of Khar police station, Shiv Sena's 100 gundas assault me with stones. Wanted to kill me. What the Police Commissioner is doing? How are so many mafia Sena gundas allowed to gather in the police station?" he said. Somaiya further alleged that this was the third time he was attacked. "This is the third time Uddhav Thackeray's gundas tried to kill me, first at Vashim, then Pune and now at Police Station (Khar Mumbai) itself," he said. Somaiya visited Khar Police Station to meet Amravati MP Navneet Rana and her husband MLA Ravi Rana who were arrested on April 23. BJP workers staged protest outside Bandra Police Station following the incident.
