A special court handling cases involving Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) has pronounced a verdict, convicting Maharashtra BJP MLA Tamil Selvan in a case dating back to 2017. The court`s decision has resulted in a six-month sentence for Tamil Selvan and others involved in the incident, along with a directive to pay a fine of Rs 13,500.

The case stems from Tamil Selvan`s participation in a protest against Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) employees and officers who arrived at Mumbai`s Sion Koliwada area in 2017 to disconnect water and electrical supply to specific buildings. The situation escalated as local residents and protesters engaged in a scuffle and resorted to stone pelting directed at the BMC team during the incident.
