Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Anil Parab on Sunday claimed that a drone was spotted hovering over `Matoshree`, the Mumbai residence of party head and former Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray. The MLC further raised serious concerns about a potential breach in a high-security zone.
However, sources in the police said, “Drone survey with permission by MMRDA was going on in BKC and Kherwadi area.”
While posting on social media platform X, Anil Parab said that “the police should investigate the matter and find out the identity of the drone operator and the motive behind the aerial `filming`.” He also wondered if there was any “terrorist background” behind it.”
शिवसेना पक्षप्रमुख यांच्या निवासस्थान ‘मातोश्री’च्या बाहेर एक ड्रोन घिरट्या घालताना दिसला – पण प्रश्न असा आहे की हा ड्रोन नेमका कोणाचा आणि कोणत्या हेतूसाठी होता?
या ड्रोनद्वारे चित्रीकरण का करण्यात आले? यामागे कोणतेही अतिरेकी पार्श्वभूमी कारण तर नाही ना?
मातोश्रीसारख्या Z+…— Anil Parab (@advanilparab) November 9, 2025
`Matoshree`, the residence of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, located in Mumbai`s Bandra area, is a heavily guarded residence.
MLC Anil Parab, expressing concerns over the security of the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief, said that “Flying a drone or filming with it in such a sensitive, high-security area without prior permission is a grave matter,” reported PTI.
Legislator Anil Parab further claimed, “A drone was spotted hovering over `Matoshree`.” This raises serious concerns about a potential security breach in a high-security zone,” reported PTI.
MLC Parab further demanded a detailed inquiry to determine the purpose behind the drone activity, identify the individuals responsible, and clarify the background of the incident to dispel public apprehension.
Uddhav Thackeray recently visited Marathwada
The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief, Uddhav Thackeray, recently visited the Marathwada region and interacted with farmers affected by heavy rains and floods there over the last few months.
During his visit to Marathwada district, Uddhav insisted that the government immediately provide a loan waiver as promised during the 2024 Assembly poll campaign by the Mahayuti government (BJP, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s NCP). “Why is the government not announcing a loan waiver? Farmers are in distress as their crops have been washed out due to heavy rains. No better time than now to help the farmers. What is the government waiting for?” Thackeray slammed the Mahayuti government for not keeping its promise.
After the 2019 Maharashtra assembly polls, Thackeray snapped ties with the BJP and entered into an alliance with the Congress and Sharad Pawar`s NCP (SP) to form a government. The Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government collapsed in 2022 following a rebellion led by Eknath Shinde.
