A Shiv Sena activist was allegedly murdered by some assailants with a knife and a chopper in the eastern suburb of Chembur.
The incident occurred last evening, when the activist, Selvaraj, was inside his home with his family in ward No
142 of Chembur. Somebody called him from outside and the assailants murdered him on the spot, the sources said.
Selvaraj’s wife alleged that the murder was part of a conspiracy by former Congress councillor Rajendra Mahulkar. Following the murder, tension prevailed in the area as a partial bandh was observed.
Heavy police force was deployed in the area to prevent any untoward incident, they said and added that further
investigations were on.
