Mumbai, Sept. 19 -- The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Thursday engaged sculptors to repair the Meentai Thackeray statue at Shivaji Park which was defaced on Wednesday. Some cracks have appeared in the shed erected over the statue, which party workers will repair and paint. They will also install a toughened glass or acrylic sheet shield around the statue to protect it, party functionaries have told Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. On Wednesday too, Sena (UBT) workers had cleaned up the ink smeared on the statue shortly after the incident came to light. Meanwhile, Upendra Pavaskar, who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly defacing the statue, was on Thursday remanded in police custody by a local court till September 20. The police told the court they are yet to ascertain his motive behind the act and recover the paint can used to deface the statue. There are some non-cognizable cases registered against him at Dadar police station and he stays alone, the police said. Pavaskar's counsel argued that since the First Information Report (FIR) said that an unknown person had defaced the statue, it could be anyone and his client should be remanded in judicial custody...
