JAMSHEDPUR: The residence of a Marathi official of Tata Motors in Jamshedpur was on Tuesday ransacked allegedly by activists of Bharatiya Bhojpuri Sa ngh (BBS) in protest against Maharashtra Navnirman Sena's (MNS) assault on Biharis in Mumbai.
Dozens of activists gathered in front of S B Borwankar's house and started brick-batting, ransacked flower-pots and damaged the glasspanes of the bungalow, company sources said.
However, no harm was caused to the family members who were inside the house. Borwankar was away at a meeting at the Circuit House here.
