New Delhi: The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), part of Maharashtra's ruling coalition, has been fined for vandalism under the new state law.
The party has been directed to pay a fine of Rs 20,000 for ransacking the Vishwa Hindu Parishad's office in Nashik on Saturday.
As per the state's new anti-vandalism law, perpetrators of violence have to pay for the damages caused to any public or private property.
The law came into effect last Friday and was pushed, ironically by Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader RR Patil.
"There is no need to feel victimised. Every Indian must follow the rules," said NCP leader Jitendra Awhad.
Five people arrested in the case were also produced before a local court in Thane which remanded them in police custody till October 27.
VHP state unit president Shankar Gaykar informed in a press meet that the VHP will receive the compensation amount on Tuesday.
