News agency PTI reports two men on a motorcycle threw glass bottles at Bachchan's Juhu residence ‘Prateeksha’ and were heard shouting abuses in the direction of ‘Prateeksha’ main gate.
"At around 1:30 am, some cameramen, who were posted outside the bungalow anticipating trouble, heard the abuses and also saw a bottle being thrown at the direction of bungalow,” a media person was quoted as saying by the agency.
But Mumbai police denied the incident. "Apart from the private security guards posted there, we had also deployed our own men at the spot and no such incident has been observed there during the night,” senior police inspector Deepak Katdare of the nearby Juhu police station, was quoted as saying.
Security was stepped up at Prateeksha on Sunday itself following Raj Thackeray's attack on the superstar for “preferring Uttar Pradesh over Maharashtra” for opening a girls' college.
Raj Thackeray's controversial remarks on north Indian population in the state led to clashes in parts of Maharashtra on Sunday. While the state government ordered a high-level probe into the violence, the Uttar Bharatiya Development Forum - an umbrella organisation of various groups of north Indians in the city - called for a protest closure.
Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil announced late on Sunday that the state's Director General of Police and Mumbai's Police Commissioner will probe the violence.
Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh had lodged an FIR against Thackeray and others in south Mumbai's Azad Maidan police station regarding the incident of protest by MNS activists during his press conference on Saturday.
A couple of theatres staging Bhojpuri films outside the metropolis were attacked and five cars were damaged during Sunday’s violence after which 15 MNS and five SP activists were arrested.
