Shiv Sena workers on Friday assaulted a Right to Information activist with an iron rod and blackened his face in Latur, Maharashtra. Press Trust of India reported that Mallikarjun Bhaikatti, exposed an illegal construction case through an RTI query and held a press conference on the matter on Friday. The RTI response showed there was about 14,000 sq ft of illegal work in a four-storeyed building and a boys' hostel on Latur-Nanded road. Sena workers assaulted Bhaikatti in front of around 4,000 students at the college where the construction was carried out. He was admitted to hospital.
Shiv Sena activist Abhay Salunke defended the attack on Bhaikatti and called him a blackmailer.
