Raj Thackeray Appears in 2008 Rioting Case

Raj Thackeray, the leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), went to court in Thane, Maharashtra.

He was there because of a case from 2008 where he and his party workers were accused of causing riots, attacking people, and hurting police officers.

This happened when they targeted candidates from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh who were taking a railway exam.

The court said he and his workers did these bad things.

Raj Thackeray said he did not do them.

The court will hear more about this on December 16.

Many of his supporters came to the court to show their support.

In 2008, he was given bail, which means he could wait at home for the trial.

He had to pay Rs 1 lakh for this bail.

There were 54 cases against him and his workers.
