Thane's busy roads resumed normal traffic flow after overnight protests over the murder of a prominent Shiv Sena leader.

Protesters demanded the immediate arrest of former Thane Mayor Meenakshi Shinde and her husband Rajendra Shinde, who are accused of involvement in the victim's murder. The Shiv Sena leadership condemned the disruptions and vowed to hold accountable those responsible for the alleged crime.
