Maharashtra government will act against those who instigated the attack on the office of Marathi TV channel IBN-Lokmat here today, chief minister Ashok Chavan said.
Asked if the government will act against the "brains and ring-leaders" behind the attack by Shiv Sena, Chavan said "we will certainly do so."
"Seven people have been arrested so far and more arrests will follow. I have asked police commissioner D Sivanandan to take stern action against those responsible," Chavan said.
"Only after investigations and interrogation of the arrested persons, we will know the individuals behind the attacks. Nobody is above law and action would be taken," he said.
"The attack shows the deep frustration of Shiv Sena", the chief minister said.
Meanwhile, Sena MP Sanjay Raut said the attack was "spontaneous."
"The channel was constantly targeting Sena and misquoted Sena chief Bal Thackeray," he alleged.
