Thackeray deletes post after 4.8 million views on X
The Hindu·
Raj Thackeray deleted a social media post sharing a Modi-Adani documentary after Mumbai's police commissioner sought removal, he said Sunday in Mumbai. The October 22 Sabeer Bhatia video drew more than 4.8 million views on X alone, he said. He honoured the request out of respect for police but said he would keep opposing corporate monopolies.

What It Means For You
- Viewers who saved Thackeray's October 22 post may still have copies after he deleted it from his account.
- His January Shivtirth presentation videos remain on his social media, he said on Sunday.
- Mumbai police involvement means future shares of the documentary could draw similar enforcement requests.
What's Happening
- Thackeray posted the documentary highlighting Modi and Adani's relationship and asset concentration claims.
- He said popularity of the video unsettled those in power and prompted the commissioner's request.
- He argued Modi should encourage multiple industrialists rather than favour one business group.
Mumbai Police Takedown Request
- Thackeray said portions of his January 2026 Shivtirth speech were incorporated into Bhatia's film.
- He maintained his criticism targets policies favouring select firms, not one industrialist alone.
- He accused governments of easing forest land transfers to industrial groups in Maharashtra.
