Maharashtra police chief Rajnish Seth on Tuesday said Aurangabad police commissioner will take appropriate legal action against MNS leader Raj Thackeray over his speech against loudspeakers atop mosques.
Notices under section 149 of CrPC (preventing cognizable offences) have been issued to over 13,000 persons, he said.
“Aurangabad CP is looking into the speech. He will take whatever legal action that is needed,” Mr. Seth told reporters, two days after Mr. Thackeray, at a rally in Aurangabad, called for “silencing” loudspeakers from the mosques from May 4.
