Eighteen MNS workers were today detained for allegedly trying to disrupt an event, being attended by a Jain monk in suburban Kandivali, police said.
The monk, Naypadmasagar Maharaj, was attending the event at Terapant Bhavan in Kandivali. However, the cadres of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) tried to create a ruckus during the function.
"They were allegedly protesting against the monk, who had reportedly asked people not to consume meat," a senior police official said.
They were detained as a precautionary measure. However, they were let off two hours later, police said.
