Finally, non-bailable warrant (NBW) has been issued against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray.  The Mumbai Police have said that he might be arrested soon.

The warrant was issued for a speech made by Raj in February where he had spoken against North Indians and had also targeted Amitabh Bachchan in that speech.

The Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh was under pressure to act against the MNS chief as major political leaders condemned the actions of MNS Chief.

A Congress delegation has met the Chief Minister to demand Raj Thackeray's arrest at the earliest. Three UPA Ministers have demanded action against Raj.

MNS activists thrashed outstation candidates who had come to Mumbai for the Railway Recruitment Board Exam at a railway station in Thane.
