Thane: A BJP activist at Navi Mumbai was attacked by sharp-eyed weapons in his office by two men, one of which was arrested in that place, police said on Monday.
Pradeep Tidar’s Senior Inspector from the Copar Police Station Khairne said the police had detained two people, including the man arrested at the crime, for attacks on BJP Sandeep Mhatre activists, who suffered minor injuries, at the end of the night of the night.
