On Saturday (November 8), an unidentified drone was seen flying outside ‘Matoshree’, the residence of the Thackeray family in Bandra area of ​​Mumbai. As soon as this video went viral on social media, there was a stir in the area. The presence of drones in this area, considered a high security zone, has worried both the security agencies and the Thackeray faction.

According to eyewitnesses, this drone was seen flying for some time on the road between Matoshree and MMRDA office. As soon as the personnel deployed for the security of Matoshree saw the drone, they immediately recorded its video and informed the concerned security officials.

There was a stir due to drone flying in Matoshree campus

According to the information, after this incident, the Thackeray faction alleged that people coming to meet Uddhav Thackeray were being spied on through this drone. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Ambadas Danve said that Matoshree complex comes in high security zone. Despite this, flying such drones is a very serious matter from security point of view. Is someone spying on Matoshree? Need to know this.

What statement did the police give on the incident?

At the same time, Mumbai Police issued a statement clarifying the situation on this matter. Police said that drone survey permitted by MMRDA is going on in BKC and Kherwadi area. Please avoid spreading any kind of wrong information. Police also said that this drone was probably part of the same survey and is not a case of any personal surveillance.

However, the Thackeray faction does not seem satisfied with this explanation. He says that whether drone survey is allowed or not, the flight of such equipment over or around Matoshree should be completely banned.

Matoshree campus falls in red zone

It is noteworthy that according to the drone policy, many areas of Mumbai, especially VIP and government residential areas, fall in the Red Zone, where flying drones without special permission is completely prohibited.

After this incident, security arrangements have been tightened around Matoshree. The local police have also started examining the CCTV footage installed in the surrounding areas to find out from where the drone was flown and for what purpose. The investigation into the matter is ongoing. Security agencies are not ruling out any possible threat or possibility of espionage.

In Mumbai, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president Raj Thackeray on Sunday (October 12) visited Matoshree, the residence of his cousin and Shiv Sena (Ubhata) chief Uddhav Thackeray. This is the second time in a week that Raj Thackeray has reached Matoshree.

When asked by journalists about the purpose of this meeting, Raj Thackeray said, ‘My mother is with me.’ He was indicating that this is a family reunion. However, this meeting comes amid speculations about the two cousins ​​coming together for the important Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections.

Also met at Sanjay Raut’s family function

Raj Thackeray had also visited Matoshree last Sunday after attending a function of Shiv Sena (Ubhatha) leader Sanjay Raut’s family. The two cousins, who were once estranged from each other, seem to be reconciling after their defeat in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections.

Last time Uddhav Thackeray had gone to meet Raj Thackeray at Shivtirtha Niwas, but at that time he was alone. On Sunday, Raj Thackeray along with his family reached Uddhav Thackeray’s Matoshree residence. This makes it clear that the relationship between Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray is getting stronger.

Meanwhile, discussions are going on about the MNS-Thackeray Sena alliance for the elections of local self-rule institutions. Now the closeness between these two brothers, who were separated for many years, is increasing and there is talk of a direct political alliance. But Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS have not yet announced the alliance for the BMC elections, although their leaders have confirmed that this alliance is going to happen.

When were the Thackeray brothers seen together?

1. 5 July 2025 – Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray were seen on the same stage in the Marathi language Vijay Melawa.

2. 27 July 2025 – After the Marathi language fair, the closeness between the two increased and Raj Thackeray reached Matoshree Niwas on the birthday of Uddhav Thackeray.

3. 27 August 2025 – The discussion of this meeting started gaining momentum in politics and after almost two decades, Uddhav Thackeray reached Raj Thackeray’s Shivtirtha residence on the occasion of Ganeshotsav.

4. 10 September 2025 – The auspicious time of Ganeshotsav became the reason for this meeting, but the conversation remained incomplete. After this, in the month of September, Uddhav Thackeray again reached Shivtirth Niwas with his family.

5. October 5, 2025 – Will the Thackeray brothers, who came together on July 5, now form an alliance in the Local Swarajya Sanstha and Municipality elections? Amidst this discussion, for the fifth time in three months, the Thackeray brothers today appeared together with their family at the naming ceremony of Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut’s grandson.

6. 12 October 2025 – Raj Thackeray along with his mother attended the Snehbhojan program at Matoshree along with Uddhav Thackeray.

There is some movement in the politics of Maharashtra. Even today something similar happened when MNS chief Raj Thackeray reached Matoshree Niwas in Bandra, Mumbai to meet his cousin Uddhav Thackeray.

It was special because the opportunity was for Uddhav Thackeray’s birthday, and the discussion was hot in political corridors since morning. The special thing is that Raj Thackeray has reached Matoshree after about 13 years. Earlier, he went there for the last time in 2012.

Raj Thackeray was separated from Shiv Sena in 2006

Please tell that Raj Thackeray separated from Shiv Sena in 2006 and formed Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). After this, political and personal differences between the two brothers were openly revealed. But some recent developments have started reducing these distances.

In the past, the two leaders appeared on the same platform against the Maharashtra government against class 5 and the slogan of Marathi Asmita. On July 5, 2025, Raj and Uddhav Thackeray appeared together at the “Vijay Rally” held at NSCI Dome in Worli, which created a stir in political equations. In this rally, the two leaders showed solidarity about Marathi Asmita and highlighted the priority of Maharashtra in speeches.

Uddhav-Raj pair again together?

After coming together on this platform, today’s meeting has further emphasized the speculation that in the upcoming BMC elections, the two brothers can enter the electoral fray together. Let me tell you that Uddhav Thackeray had said in the rally, “Grain -based panchayats have bridged the gap between us, we have come together to live together,” Raj Thackeray added, “Maharashtra is bigger than any quarrel or controversy.”

Will you contest elections together in future?

The answer to this question may be clear in the coming weeks, but today’s meeting has made it clear that the snow of relationships in the Thackeray family is melting. We can expect that this change in political equations can change the picture of power in Maharashtra to a great extent.
