Maratha leaders called off their Mumbai shutdown on Wednesday afternoon and asked protesters in other parts of the state to follow suit. But agitators in Thane and Navi Mumbai said they won’t withdraw stir. The move to call off the agitation was taken after several violent incidents erupted in Mumbai as well as surrounding areas, including the burning of a BEST bus on the Ghatkopar Mankhurd Road and an agitation against mediapersons in Kalamboli that forced the police to fire in the air and launch a lathi-charge. Four to five people were also reported injured in mob violence.
