The Mira Bhayandar Vasai Virar (MBVV) police have learnt that the second clash that occurred at Mira Road, on January 22, was premeditated and that the attackers had carried stones on their two-wheelers and in bags. Most of the attackers had allegedly attended a political leader’s rally. While 100 of them proceeded to the police commissioner’s office, about 200-300 spread in the area and attacked shops. The stones found at the spot were from Ghodbunder Road, according to the police.
While investigating the recent clashes at Mira Road, the cops also found that the first incident happened due to road rage and a misunderstanding between two communities. So far, the MBVV police have registered 12 FIRs and arrested 28 people from both communities. The situation in the area is peaceful and under control. The MBVV police have restricted all political parties from holding rallies at Naya Nagar.
