Mumbai, Maharashtra News Live Updates, July 25: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has said unlike previous rebellions in the party, the revolt this time was aimed at “finishing off” the Sena. The Sena indulges in politics for Hindutva, whereas the BJP uses Hindutva for its political interests, Thackeray claimed while addressing the Sena workers on Sunday after inaugurating a ward level party office in south Mumbai.

In other news, the Mumbai police have started issuing notices prohibiting unlawful gathering to activists and NGOs approaching police stations to seek permission for protests at Aarey against the proposed carshed. Notices have been issued to two activists in the past two days and the police have also barricaded the spot where the car shed is due to come up. While the previous MVA government had moved the proposed car shed site to Kanjurmarg, the new government led by Eknath Shinde has asked the state administration to submit a proposal to move the proposed car shed location back to Aarey.

The Mumbai police have registered an offence against a person who sent a photograph of a firearm to a person on WhatsApp to scare him into paying Rs 25 lakh extortion amount. The accused initially called up a fruit merchant in the city demanding money, but later sent a photograph of the firearm after the latter did not heed the threat call.
