Ulhasnagar police detained Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leaders for allegedly vandalising the burial spot of Akshay Shinde on Sunday, the main accused in the Badlapur sexual assault case.
According to a Bombay High Court order, burial procedures for Akshay Shinde had begun at the cemetery in Ulhasnagar Camp 3. However, hundreds of citizens, along with local leaders from Shiv Sena, expressed strong opposition to the burial. The escalating tension prompted authorities to deploy a large police presence to prevent potential unrest.
