Dubey also criticized the state government, stating, "This attack is a failure of the state government. The law and order situation has completely collapsed, and the home minister should resign." MNS workers claimed the attack was in retaliation for an incident on Friday afternoon when MNS chief Raj Thackeray's car was pelted with betel nuts and tomatoes.

Police have confirmed the incident and detained over 20 individuals. A case was also registered in connection with the incident, and, according to a senior officer, Thane police were further looking into it. Raj Thackeray, who is the estranged cousin of Uddhav Thackeray, was touring central Maharashtra at the time.
