A statue of Meenatai Thackeray in Mumbai was defaced with red paint early Wednesday, prompting investigation and political outcry.
On Wednesday morning in Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, the bust of Meenatai Thackeray, wife of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, was defaced with red paint.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders, including Raj and Uddhav Thackeray, visited the site, and party workers cleaned the paint.
The motive remains unclear, though the incident sparked protests and demands for swift action.
Police launched an investigation, deploying additional personnel and forming teams to identify suspects.
The defacement, which occurred between 6 and 6:30 a.m., has drawn condemnation from political figures across parties, with some urging restraint.
This is not the first time the statue has been targeted, recalling a similar 2006 incident.
