The first warrant was issued by a Bihar court following an FIR against Thackeray in 2010 for allegedly making a hate speech against Biharis and exhorting his supporters to beat up railways' entrance exam candidates from North India.
Raj Thackeray's counsel had earlier argued that he could not appear before the court on Friday due to Ganesh Utsav and security reasons. But the court found the argument improper and issued the non-bailable warrant. The next date of hearing has been fixed for November 17.
The incident related to a railways' entrance exam in Mumbai on October 20, 2008 when candidates from North India, including those from Bihar, were allegedly attacked at Raj Thackeray's behest. Apart from that he had allegedly given hate speech against North Indians on the occasion of Chhath, an important religious festival of Biha.
There are seven such cases against the MNS chief at Delhi's Tis Hazari court. The cases were moved to Delhi following a Supreme Court order in early 2012 after Raj had moved the apex court following the NBWs that were issued against him by Bihar courts.
