Rival Shiv Sena factions clash on streets of Mumbai

The seething animosity between the rival Shiv Sena factions led by Sena president Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde spilled over on to the streets of Mumbai, following a clash between the two camps in Mumbai’s Dadar area.

The ruckus, which took place on Saturday night near the New Prabhadevi in Dadar, reportedly had its cause in a controversial social media post on the day of the Ganesha visarjan on Friday.

According to sources, on Saturday midnight, after the visarjan, a Sena functionary from the Shinde camp named Santosh Talavane was allegedly attacked by a member of the Thackeray camp, Mahesh Sawant, and several others.
