Mumbai: Amid Uddhav Thackeray's charges, a video has surfaced showing poll authorities checking Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde ’s bags. Shinde arrived at the Palghar Police Ground helipad on Wednesday for an election campaign event when officials inspected his belongings.

After learning about the incident, Shiv Sena (UBT) activists took Katke – whose father is active in the Ramdas Athawale-led RPI – to Matoshree, where he was felicitated by Uddhav Thackeray. Both Katke and his father were then inducted into the Shiv Sena.

The incident took place when Eknath Shinde's convoy was passing through the area which also houses the office of Congress's candidate from the Chandivali seat, Arif Naseem Khan.

The video of a man trying to obstruct Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde's convoy and calling him 'gaddar' (traitor) for splitting the Shiv Sena and siding with BJP for power, has gone viral in social media,
