In the video, Nitesh Rane and his followers are seen dumping mud on the highway engineer, as Prakash Shedakar.
Incident took place at a bridge near Kankavali on the Mumbai-Goa highway when the MLA was inspecting the potholes-ridden stretch. This comes around a week after BJP MP Kailash Vijayvargiya’s son Akash Vijayvargiya was arrested for assaulting municipal officer Dhirendra Singh Bais with a cricket bat during an argument over a demolition drive in Ganji compound area in Indore.
The incident, which had taken place in full public view, had left the BJP embarrassed and prompted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to issue a stern warning and tell party leaders that arrogance and misbehaviour cannot be tolerated. Narendra Modi had strongly disapproved of Akash Vijayvargiya’s conduct.
