The Story in Brief
MNS Ambernath city president Shailesh Shirke was arrested after a dispute over possession of a shop at a BJP office turned into a physical clash between workers of the two parties on Tuesday night. Police said Shirke allegedly assaulted BJP workers. The matter escalated when BJP workers allegedly confronted Shirke at Shivajinagar Police Station, where he was assaulted and his vehicle damaged.
A case has been registered against Shirke under sections related to assault, theft and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The police have not yet filed a case against BJP workers. Senior Inspector Pramod Patil confirmed the investigation is ongoing.
The Indian Opinion
The brawl is being framed as a spontaneous turf war, but the real story is the selective application of law. The MNS chief was arrested and booked under the SC/ST Act, while BJP workers who allegedly assaulted him and damaged his vehicle walk free, a pattern that ordinary Indians know too well. Watch whether the police register a case against the BJP workers in the coming week. That will tell us if justice is blind or just partisan.
