Late on Tuesday, Vinay Dubey, a resident of Airoli, was picked up by the Rabale police and handed over to the Navghar police in Mumbai for instigating migrant workers to come out on the roads. Dubey had posted a video on Facebook, encouraging the migrant workers to protest. The video on the Facebook was liked by 16,000 people and shared further on other social networks by 15,000 people. Mr. Thackeray also warned that his government will not allow anybody to play with the sentiments of poor migrant workers and disturb the law and order situation in the State. The CM’s warning came in the light of over 1,000 migrant workers assembling near Bandra station on Tuesday afternoon to demand that transport arrangements be made to send them back to their native places.
