Loudspeaker Row: MNS chief Raj Thackeray booked over Aurangabad speech

A case has been registered against MNS chief Raj Thackeray and organisers of a public rally in Aurangabad over his speech against loudspeakers atop mosques, reports from ANI stated.

Police registered the case after seeing the videos of his public rally.

Seth on Tuesday said Aurangabad police commissioner Nikhil Gupta will take appropriate legal action against MNS leader Raj Thackeray over his speech.

“Aurangabad CP is looking into the speech. He will take whatever legal action that is needed,” Seth told reporters, two days after Thackeray, at a rally in Aurangabad, called for “silencing” loudspeakers from the mosques from May 4.

Seth said police are prepared to maintain law and order in the state and stern action will be taken against anyone seeking to disturb communal harmony.

Leave of all police personnel has been cancelled, he said.

Police are fully prepared to tackle the situation in the state and have been given clear instructions to take stern action against those creating trouble, he said.

Police have taken pre-emptive action against anti-social elements to avoid any untoward incident, he said.
