Mumbai police have arrested Danish Sher Khan, 22, following an incident in which eggs were allegedly thrown at a welcoming procession for a Ganesh idol in the Mazgaon locality. According to police records, Khan operates an online egg supply business in the area.
The arrest comes after the incident occurred during the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, a major Hindu festival marked by processions and public festivities across Maharashtra. Witnesses reported that the eggs were hurled at the procession, which had gathered to welcome the deity's idol into the community.
Police have registered a case against Khan in connection with the incident. The exact circumstances that prompted the alleged action remain under investigation, though authorities indicated that a personal grievance may have been the motivating factor.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions during religious celebrations in urban areas, where large public gatherings occasionally witness disruptions. Mazgaon, a densely populated locality in central Mumbai, has seen similar disturbances in the past during major festivals.
