Senior NCP leader and former Maharashtra Home Minister, Anil Deshmukh, was injured on Monday after unidentified individuals threw stones at his car on the Katol-Jalalkheda Road in Nagpur. Deshmukh was returning from a public meeting in Narkhed, where he was campaigning for his son, Salil Deshmukh, who is contesting the Maharashtra Assembly elections as a Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) candidate.

The attack has sparked outrage, with Salil Deshmukh blaming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for orchestrating the assault. The police are investigating the incident, though no arrests have been made yet.
