Mumbai Police exercised maximum restraint in quelling today’s violence and resorted to firing only as the last option, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan said tonight.
Two persons were killed and 45 policemen injured in the violence that erupted after a rally organised by city-based Raza Academy this afternoon at Azad Maidan in South Mumbai turned unruly, with the mob damaging buses, hurling stones and setting vehicles on fire.
