Bal Thackeray arrested, released 
WSN Network

Mumbai: The Mumbai police on Friday ‘arrested’ Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray as a matter of procedure at his Bandra (E) residence, Matoshree. He was released immediately on a bail of Rs 10,000.

The arrest was symbolic in nature. Officials from the Kherwadi police station had been directed by a court to serve a bailable warrant on Thackeray.

Senior inspector T R Gire of the Kherwadi police station visited Matoshree around 2 pm to execute the warrant. ‘‘Gire was accompanied by a team of policemen. Thackeray was required to sign two copies, one of which will be sent back to the court,’’ said zonal deputy commissioner R N Tadvi. Thackeray paid Rs 10,000 after which he was set free on bail. Thackeray faces a case for his inflammatory writings in ‘Saamna’, the mouthpiece of the Sena. Lawyer and NCP activist Munna Tripathi has filed the case. On Thursday, additional sessions judge S J Shah gave the Mumbai police a deadline of 24 hours to execute the bailable warrant against Thackeray.
