Mumbai, April 23: Maharashtra BJP leader Mohit Kamboj claimed that Shiv Sena goons attacked his car on Friday night, in Kalanagar Junction in Mumbai, and called it an attempt to kill him by the Shiv Sena and the Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. The BJP leader has also filed a complaint with Mumbai police in this regard.
Kamboj had once alleged that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) ministers have links with “drug mafias”. Matoshree, CM Uddhav Thackeray’s private residence, is located in Kalanagar. The area is currently seeing a gathering of 100s of Shiv Sainiks to thwart an attempt by Independent Lok Sabha MP Navneet Rana and her husband Ravi Rana to recite Hanuman Chalisa on Saturday morning.
Kamboj, a former General Secretary of BJP Mumbai and former president of BJP Yuva Morcha claimed that the incident took place on Friday. “I had gone to attend a wedding and while returning home, my vehicle stopped at a road signal in Kalanagar area. Suddenly, a mob of a few hundred attacked my vehicle and broke its glasses and damaged the door handles,” Kamboj said in a video statement.
The BJP leader claimed that the attack was an attempt to kill him as he had exposed corruption in the BMC and raised his voice against ‘corrupt ministers’ like Nawab Mallik.
