Thane, Sep 28 (PTI) A high-voltage drama unfolded at the Kopri Police Station in Thane city on Monday night after Siddhesh Abhange, a youth leader affiliated with the ruling Shiv Sena, was allegedly assaulted inside the station premises, police said.
The incident sparked brief tension across the Kopri neighborhood.
The altercation apparently stemmed from a monetary dispute between Abhange and some women engaged in the textile business, they said.
As the disagreement worsened, both parties approached the Kopri Police Station to resolve the matter. However, the situation quickly spiralled out of control when an argument broke out inside the station premises, said police.
A businesswoman accompanied by an associate allegedly attacked Abhange inside the police station, they said.
On-duty personnel quickly stepped in to separate the clashing parties and bring the situation under control.
Police authorities said the process of registering an FIR regarding the incident was underway, and statements from both sides were being recorded to investigate the assault. PTI COR RSY
