Mumbai: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists are on a rampage in Kalyan following the arrest of their party chief Raj Thackeray early on Tuesday morning.

Many MNS workers are out on the roads with rods and stones in their hands. Police also lathicharged MNS workers at some places to restore order.
IBN7 cameraman Sachin Pednekar was also beaten up by the mob and has been admitted to the Rukmini Hospital.
Raj was arrested on charges of rioting in Kherwadi, where on Sunday MNS workers attacked outstation candidates appearing for a railway board examination to protest “inadequate representation” of the locals.
