Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader, Raj Thackeray, was let off on interim bail on Wednesday, after spending a night at the Manpada police station, Thane.

On Tuesday MNS workers were at their boisterous best, destroying property, indulging in arson and wreaking havoc all over the state of Maharashtra. Things calmed down a little on Wednesday when the proceedings shifted to the Kalyan court, where Mr. Thackeray was produced in relation with a case registered at the Kalyan railway police station on October 19. The allegation against him was setting off attacks on North Indian students appearing for a Railway Recruitment Board examination. The court accepted his anticipatory bail application.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Kumar Modi does not seem to be particularly happy with the ongoing. On Wednesday Modi commented that the fact that Raj Thackeray was being granted bails in all criminal cases suggests of clandestine dealing between the Maharashtra government and the Congress-led UPA government at the Center.

"It just does not pass the common sense test," Modi said of the bails granted to Thackeray.

"They are charging him of smaller crimes in which it is comparatively easier to obtain bail. Thackeray's actions have caused injuries to innocent people, have led to at least 3 deaths, and have put the nation's unit under jeopardy. He should be charged with all these crimes and not just charges of vandalism and attempting to incite violence," Modi said.
