Malegaon: Nashik district general secretary of Bajrang Dal was today allegedly attacked here by some unidentified bike-borne men, police said.
The incident, which took place around 11.30 am, triggered tension in the powerloom town, and police have beefed up security.
“Bajrang Dal district general secretary and a gorakshak (cow protector) Machhindra Shirke was attacked on Mumbai-Agra highway around 11.30 am by unidentified people.
Shirke sustained injuries in the attack and he was admitted to a private hospital,” Additional Superintendent of Police Rakesh Ola said.
The attackers came on around 15 motorcycles and attacked Shirke with sticks. They also damaged his car before disappearing from the scene, police said.
Police are in the process of identifying the accused.
The investigators suspect that the incident could be a fallout of an assault in the town early today on two members of a minority community, who were found transporting cattle on Manmad road.
Further investigation is on.
