Mumbai: In another sensational twist amid the high voltage political thriller in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena MLA Nitin Deshmukh, who was earlier speculated to have joined rebel Sena leader Eknath Shinde, has resurfaced voicing his support for Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. He alleges that he was “kidnapped” and taken to Gujarat’s Surat from where he escaped.
“I escaped and was standing on the road at around 3 in the morning trying to hitch a ride from passersby when over a hundred cops came and took me to a hospital. They pretended that I had a heart attack and tried to do some procedure on my body,” he said, adding that he did not have any such condition.
