A property dispute in Thane's Bhayanderpada took a violent turn over the weekend, prompting the Kasarvadavali police to register cross-FIRs against two rival groups. The clash resulted in multiple injuries on both sides.
Allegations and Counter-Allegations
One group alleged that a developer's aides arrived with 80 to 100 individuals and attacked the occupants using iron rods, wooden sticks, and stones. The other group claimed that they were merely conducting an authorized evacuation and excavation when they were threatened and assaulted by the opposing party.
Political Angle Emerges
The violence took a political turn after a BJP MLA accused a Shiv Sena minister of orchestrating a land grab attempt. This accusation has added a layer of political tension to the already volatile situation.
Police Response
The Kasarvadavali police have registered cross-FIRs against both groups and are investigating the incident. They have assured strict action against those found guilty. Further details are awaited as the investigation progresses.
This incident highlights the ongoing issues related to property disputes in the region, often leading to violence and legal battles. Authorities urge residents to resolve such matters through legal channels to avoid clashes.
