Raj Thackeray Removes Modi-Adani Documentary After Mumbai Police Request

Raj Thackeray announced he removed a Sabir Bhatia documentary that examined the close relationship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and industrialist Gautam Adani, after receiving a request from the Mumbai Police Commissioner. The video had attracted over 4.8 million Twitter views and sparked widespread discussion. Thackeray reiterated that his criticism targets monopolistic practices, not any individual, and referenced a January 2026 presentation at Shivtirth that also warned of the Adani Group’s expansion.

He accused the central government of allocating large forest tracts in Bhimashankar to the Gujarat-based Torrent Group and other industrial allies. While praising the efficiency of Mumbai and Maharashtra police, he chose to honor the commissioner’s demand and delete the post, keeping his earlier presentation online. He framed the episode as part of a broader fight against authoritarianism and unchecked corporate power.
