Sena MP injured in attack at poll rally in Maharashtra
Mumbai, Oct 16 (PTI) Shiv Sena MP Omraje Nimbalkar was
injured when an unidentified man attacked him with a knife in
Maharashtra's Osmanabad district on Wednesday, police said.
The incident took place when Nimbalkar was addressing
an election rally at Padoli Naigaon village in Kalamb taluka.
During the rally, a man along with a group came close
to Nimbalkar, who represents the Osmanabad Lok Sabha
constituency, on the pretext of shaking hands with him, a
police official said.
"While greeting the MP, the man attacked him with a
knife and immediately fled. Nimbalkar got hurt on his hand but
escaped a major injury because of his wrist watch," he said.
The Lok Sabha member's father Pawanraje Nimbalkar, who
was a Congress leader, was shot dead in his car near Kalamboli
on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway on June 3, 2006.
Former Lok Sabha MP Padamsinh Patil is the key accused
in that case. PTI DC
