Five booked for vandalising shop

MUMBAI: The N M Joshi Marg police on Monday arrested five people for vandalising Bombay Dyeing's showroom at Worli. On Sunday, the showroom's board was brought down by miscreants who demanded that the firm change its name to "Mumbai Dyeing".
The accused, who were later released on bail, were identified as Vidhyadhar Chowhan (Shiv Sena shakha pramukh from Mazgaon) and four members of BVS (the Sena's student wing) Sudhir Kadam, Nikhil Kadam, Krunal Vadekar and Vyanktesh Lokare.
In the Bombay Scottish incident, the Mahim police have registered a complaint against "unidentified miscreants'' for damaging school property. On Sunday, some men blackened the word Bombay written on one of the gates with tar and replaced it with Mumbai.
"In this case, the police questioned local Sainiks but they denied any involvement. We recorded the statement of Parmendra Jha, the school watchman," said inspector Anant Gawde, Mahim.
Abhijeet Panse, president of the Sena's student wing, said, "Everybody should start using the word Mumbai. If not, we will continue our agitation."
