Mumbai Police detained a number of MNS workers gathered outside party chief Raj Thackeray`s residence, a day after the latter urged people to play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers wherever they hear loudspeakers blaring `azaan`, officials said.

However, MNS functionaries Sandeep Deshpande and Santosh Dhuri managed to quickly leave from the spot in a vehicle when a police team tried to catch them. A female police constable fell down while taking the action against MNS workers outside Thackeray`s home in Shivaji Park area.
