India's financial capital Mumbai remained tense on Wednesday over the possible arrest of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray and Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi on the charges of inciting people.

Though the police are tight-lipped about when both the leaders could be arrested, they have given ample indications that arrests are mandatory as they have been charged under cognizable and non-bailable offences.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra government has requisitioned paramilitary forces to meet any eventuality and security has been beefed in different parts of the city in case they are arrested.

Incidents of stone pelting and assault were reported on Tuesday from different parts of the state including Nashik Pune, Jalna, Beed, Aurangabad and Latur towns. Public property, including state transport buses were targeted in most of the cases.
