Amit Thackeray Accepts Police Notice Over Nerul Shivaji Memorial Unveiling

Officers invoked CrPC 41(A) to seek his cooperation, with his detailed statement to be recorded next.

Overview

  • Thackeray visited the Nerul police station on Sunday to receive the notice after stopping at the memorial, drawing a show of support from party workers.
  • Police estimated about 300 MNS supporters joined his convoy, deployed additional personnel for crowd control, and reported a peaceful visit with no arrests.
  • The case traces to November 16, when he uncovered the Shivaji statue without authorisation, which municipal officials say was pending formal clearances.
  • Investigators said they will record his statement in the coming days and may call him again as the inquiry proceeds.
  • He had earlier declined to take the notice at his Mumbai residence, and a PTI report says an unlawful assembly case also names him and dozens of others.
