In Maharashtra's Beed city on Friday, four Shiv Sena (UBT) supporters were detained for allegedly throwing betel nuts, or 'supari,' at the convoy of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, reported PTI. 

During a tour of central Maharashtra, Raj Thackeray, estranged cousin of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, faced an incident where supporters of Sena (UBT) attempted to block his convoy and threw betel nuts.  

According to a police official cited by PTI, the betel nuts struck a different vehicle, not Raj Thackeray's. The individuals responsible have been detained, and a case is being filed against them.
