Whether u believe it or not, but it's true.

One of the groups of lawyers defending the MNS chief Raj Thackrey belongs to North India. He is the most common face in Raj's legal team.

Akhilesh Chaubey, the 32-year-old lawyer from Jaunpur in UP, is one of strongest North Indian supporter of Raj. Raj has declared war against the North Indians residing in Mumbai or coming into the business capital of India for other reasons. 

Chaubey is associated with Raj since 1987 when he was a Shivsena activist. At that time Raj was heading Bharati Vidyarthi Sena, student wing of Shivsena. 

"I'm a follower of Rajsaheb's ideology and political views right from the beginning. Rajsaheb's only concern is betterment of Maharashtra," Chaubey said. "I am used to getting calls from people in UP and Bihar, asking me to disassociate myself from MNS," Chaubey added.
