Police in neighboring Thane district have started probe into an alleged weapon-training camp held by a right-wing organization at a school, an official said Sunday.
An NGO had complained that the right-wing organization imparted firearm training to students at a camp held at a school in Mira Road area last week.
The NGO approached Navghar police station after pictures of training camp began to circulate on social media.
"We have contacted the organizers and asked them to produce licenses for weapons and documents related to the camp," said Sub Divisional Police Officer Atul Kulkarni
The school is run by a BJP MLA, said another official.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that air guns -- for which no license is needed -- were used for training at the camp, and some of the pictures on social media were of locations in Madhya Pradesh, said Kulkarni.
"We are conducting further probe," he added.
