Hawkers paid back Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers in their own coin by beating them up on Saturday. "The clash took place around 3.15 pm and four MNS workers were injured," said a police officer. "Later, around 300 of us went back to Malad station and attacked the remaining hawkers and drove them away," an MNS leader said. Nirupam, reacting to the attack, said, "We have conducted rallies to support hawkers and MNS party workers should stop assaulting them. Meanwhile, Malad police said that it has detained some hawkers and MNS workers while heavy police presence has been deployed outside railway stations in the city.
