Police in Thane district have registered a case against a Shiv Sena leader after a video showing him cutting birthday cake with a sword appeared on social media.
Mayur Patil (33), a former corporator of Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation, told police that the sword had been gifted to him by a friend during his birthday celebration on July 16.
He did not have the license needed to possess such weapons, he conceded, a police official said.
A case under the Indian Arms Act for illegal weapon possession was registered against Patil at Kalyan taluka police station, though no arrest has been made.
