Amravati, Maharashtra: Suspected Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) activists on Monday attacked the office of diversified conglomerate IndiaBulls in the Camp area of the city, second such incident since party chief Raj Thackeray on Sunday accused the company of "usurping" water meant for farmers for its power plant in the parched district.
"A group of 20-25 youths, shouting slogans hailing MNS, stormed the IndiaBulls' office at Camp area around 12 PM and damaged the windowpanes and a glass door," a company spokesman said.
He said some employees of the company present inside the office at the time of the attack, along with security guards, foiled the bid of the vandals to force their way inside.
Police are recording the statements of the staff present in the office at the time of the attack.
Alleged MNS workers had damaged the glass entrance of the company's office in Central Mumbai last evening.
Amravati is among several districts of Maharashtra reeling under severe drought.
The Bombay High Court had recently rejected an application by Vidarbha's farmers to recall its March 2 order wherein it had upheld allocation of 87.6 million cubic metres of water annually to IndiaBulls' thermal power plant.
