Six Shiv Workers who brutally assaulted Retd. Navy Officer Madan Lal in Mumbai were granted bail on Saturday. A retired naval officer named 'Madan Sharma' was beaten in Mumbai allegedly by Shiv Sena workers for forwarding a cartoon mocking Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
All the arrested Shiv Sena workers have been granted bail by the Mumbai Police on a surety of Rs. 5000 fine. Now, another row has started and the opposition party are accusing the Mumbai Police that they did not impose stringent sections on the Shiv Sena goons, therefore they easily got the bail.
As per reports the section imposed on them were bailable and of simple assault. They got the 'Table Bail' means they were not even presented to the Court. They all were given bail on a security deposit of Rs 5000 each by the Mumbai Police.
The daughter of former Navy officer said, "A senior citizen has been attacked, police should know under which sections accused are to be arrested. They must be arrested under the attempt to murder charges. It should be non-bailable."
She also requested to impose President's rule in Maharashtra as hooliganism has become the new normal of the state. Anyone who speak against Uddhav Thackeray and Shiv Sena their voices are suppressed by hook or by crook.
BJP leaders, and daughter of Madan Sharma, a retired Navy officer who alleged he was beaten up by Shiv Sena workers in Mumbai, staged protest outside the office of Additional Commissioner of Police demanding the accused to be booked under non-bailable offenses.
