Thane, Aug 28 (PTI) Thousands of printed SIR forms were allegedly found at a photocopy shop in Kharghar area of Navi Mumbai on Friday, triggering a clash between Shiv Sena (UBT) and BJP activists and a police investigation, officials said.
The incident occurred after Sena (UBT) workers confronted a man, who they claimed was an office-bearer of the BJP’s Youth Wing, while he was allegedly getting SIR forms photocopied at a shop, police said.
Local police rushed to the scene and took the alleged BJP office-bearer into custody. Authorities also seized thousands of printed SIR forms from the premises and transferred them to the police station.
Sena (UBT) workers, meanwhile, alleged that the detained BJP youth leader managed to flee the Kharghar police station shortly after being brought in for questioning.
