Meanwhile, incidents of violence were reported across Mumbai allegedly by the MNS activists.
Taxis parked at Tardeo in south Mumbai were damaged by some unknown miscreants who fled on motorcycles, the police said.
Two separate incidents were reported in the north-west suburb of Borivali where miscreants attempted to burn trucks, they added.
There were also reports of some unidentified men throwing stones at the suburban resident of Congress spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam.
Meanwhile, schools in suburban Mumbai have been closed as a preventive measure following the arrest of MNS chief.
Bsides, security has been beefed up in Mumbai to thwart any untoward incident, the police said.
Reacting sharply to his leader's arrest, MNS spokesperson Shirish Parkar said, "There was no substance in the allegations against Raj Thackeray. The state government was acting at the behest of the Centre." Parkar described the arrest of Raj Thackeray as 'vengeance' and political 'conspiracy' by the Maharashtra government.
