MiD DAY reporter Ranjeet Jadhav gives you a first-person account of what was happening outside Matoshree, the Thackeray bungalow, hours before the news of Balasaheb's death was announced.
At around 2:30 pm today, I arrived at Kalanagar where Thackeray family's bungalow Matoshree is located.u00a0The atmosphere was thick with tension and the security in the area surrounding the bungalow was tight. A number of Shiv sainiks were seen praying for the recovery of their leader.
At 3:45 pm, a group of Sena leaders including Anil Desai and Gajanan Kirtikar stepped outside the bungalow premises.u00a0It appeared as though they were taking stock of the situation outside. They did not interact with anyone and went back with a tense look on their faces.
