BJP Candidate Bhushan Shingne Injured in Nagpur Ahead of Civic Polls; Police Probe Underway

Bhushan Shingne, BJP candidate from Nagpur's Ward No. 11, was injured in a scuffle involving over 100 people in the Gorewada area hours before Maharashtra's municipal corporation elections. The incident occurred after Shingne reportedly went to address concerns about anti-social elements allegedly distributing money to influence voters. Police have registered a case including charges of rioting and attempted murder, and are investigating using CCTV footage. BJP leaders condemned the attack as an intimidation tactic undermining democratic processes.
