“Mumbai police paying tributes at Pir Hazrat Makdoom Shah Dargah at the behest of Shiv Sena.”
What FACTLY found
Mumbai police indeed paid tributes to Makhdum Ali Mahimi by offering the first chadar to Mahim Dargah. They have been following this ritual for years now. According to news articles, Makhdum Ali Mahimi has been the patron saint of the Mumbai police since its roots as a citizen’s militia in the 17th century. There are multiple old videos and news articles related to Mumbai police paying tributes at Mahimi Dargah. This has nothing to do with Shiva Sena
