Shiv Sena Pune unit chief among 6 held for attack on ex-minister Uday Samant’s car

Six people including Shiv Sena city unit chief Sanjay More were arrested by the Pune police hours after the alleged attack on the former minister Uday Samant’s vehicle on Tuesday evening, officials said.

Besides More, other suspects include Sambhaji Thorve, organiser of Sena leader Aditya Thackeray’s rally at Katraj, party workers Rajesh Palaskar, Chandan Salunkhe, Suraj Lokhande and Rupesh Pawar.

Reacting on the police action, More said, “As public rally by Aaditya Thackeray was a massive hit, police have taken action against Shiv Sainiks”.

The attack on Samant came immediately after Thackeray concluded his rally and left the venue when Shiv Sainiks had reportedly blocked the road.

As Samant was on his way to visit another Eknath Shinde camp loyalist Tanaji Samant’s residence, his SUV was attacked with stones at Katraj area of Pune.

Samant, who was in the front seat, escaped unhurt during the attack.
