Details Of The Attack On NCP Leader

He said that a group of five to six unidentified assailants attacked Sanjay Jadhav, the former vice-chairman of the Parli Vaijnath Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC), with machetes, leaving him seriously injured.

Jadhav sustained multiple injuries in the assault and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital, the official said.

Investigation Into The Motives

Preliminary inquiries suggest that the assault may be linked to a recent dispute Jadhav had with a man in the village, he said, adding that efforts are underway to identify and trace the attackers.
