Cops arrest 9 for vandalising girl's uncle's clinic over anti-Thackeray Facebook post
Police arrested nine people for vandalising the clinic of the uncle of the girl arrested for an anti-Bal Thackeray Facebook post, reports said on Tuesday.
It is unclear if those arrested are Shiv Sainiks. Hours after 21-year-old Palghar resident Shaheen Dhadha posted a comment on Facebook denouncing the virtual shutdown of the city following Bal Thackeray's death, her uncle's hospital in Palghar was vandalised.

The police have booked "unidentified persons" for rioting and damaging property.
Around 7pm on Sunday, a few police officials visited her uncle Dr Abdul Dhadha's hospital. Abdul, however, has been in Mahabaleshwar for a fortnight, said Sudhir Gupta, her advocate.
"Officials who went to the hospital said Shaheen had posted something against the Shiv Sena chief and that she should remove it. Around 8.30pm, 30 to 40 unidentified persons vandalised the hospital, causing losses to the tune of Rs. 15 lakh to 20 lakh."
Around 9pm, Shiv Sena president for Palghar city, Bhushan Sankhe, registered a case against Dhadha and her friend, Rainu Shrinivasan, 20.
