Former mayor of the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC), Geeta Jain, and her 10 bodyguards have been booked for allegedly manhandling the organisers of a Navaratri event in the township and creating a ruckus, police said on Thursday.
According to officials from the Naya Nagar police station, where the offence was registered, the incident occurred on Wednesday night during an event in Shanti Nagar, where the current mayor of Mira Bhayandar, Dimple Mehta, was being felicitated.
“During the function, just as Ms. Mehta was being felicitated, Ms. Jain arrived with her followers and 10 bodyguards,” Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mira Road Division, Shantaram Valvi, said. Ms. Jain demanded that she also be felicitated at the event. “Her bodyguards and supporters then went on to the stage and manhandled the organisers,” Mr. Valvi said.
