Pune, India : Fifty MNS activists have been arrested in connection with sporadic incidents of stone pelting in the city, which damaged about forty buses, police said Wednesday.
The activists were apprehended late last night after they damaged the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal buses, reacting to the reports of an anticipated arrest of their leader Raj Thackeray, they said.
The workers took to streets yesterday and pelted stones at buses and shops yesterday, disrupting normal life.
A driver of a city bus and a woman passenger were injured in the incident, which led to the closure of shops and business establishments in many parts of the city late last evening.
However, the situation is now “under control”, police said today, adding that it had appealed to shopkeepers to carry on their business as usual.
An uneasy calm prevailed in the state despite the assurance by the authorities.
