Tensions flared at Shivaji Park in Dadar on Wednesday morning after Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders and party workers discovered that the bust of Meenatai Thackeray, wife of the late Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, had been defaced.

According to local party members, unknown miscreants allegedly attempted to deface the bust by spraying colour on it during the early hours of the day.
