Political violence in Mumbai spreads

Raj Thackeray, who heads the small but vocal Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), was arrested on charges of rioting. Police in Mumbai fired tear gas shells and beat protesters with batons after his arrest. Thackeray is the nephew of Hindu nationalist leader Bal Thackeray, who founded the Shiv Sena party. He deserted Shiv Sena in 2005 to form the more militant MNS.
