Maharashtra: Congress MLA Nitesh Rane assaults Govt babu, supporters dump mud on engineer

Irked over the poor condition of the Mumbai-Goa highway, former CM Narayan Rane's MLA son Nitesh Rane and his supporters vented their ire on a road sub-engineer by bathing him with wet mud and slime, and even attempted to tie him to a bridge here on Thursday. Rane, accompanied by Kankavli Municipal Council President and activists of the NDA-affiliated Maharashtra Swabhiman Party (MSP) had gone to inspect road repairs being carried out on a stretch of the bridge on the Gad River near Kankavli.
