Tension erupts in Mumbai’s Mazgaon late Sunday night after eggs are allegedly thrown at the arrival procession of the Mazgaon Cha Morya Ganpati idol. Festival organisers and local residents say the eggs are thrown from a nearby building as the procession passes through the area, prompting an angry crowd and arguments. Police reach the spot, and officers attempt to pacify people and stop disturbances.
Mumbai Police register an FIR against unidentified persons, and authorities examine CCTV footage from surrounding areas to identify those allegedly involved. In statements carried by outlets, representatives of the Ganpati mandal describe the location of the incident as about 30–40 metres from the pandal, while other organisers claim an egg breaks near the trolley carrying the idol. Some accounts also note the presence and involvement of groups supporting the mandal, along with appeals for calm as officials pursue action against suspects.
Times of India reports that police deploy personnel as a precautionary measure, dispersing a crowd of thousands and restoring order by Monday morning. The reports place the episode within a broader period of heightened Ganesh-related activity in Mumbai.
