AURANGABAD: NCP women wing’s Osmanabad president Manisha Patil was allegedly attacked on late Tuesday evening, leaving her with deep cuts on her hand.
Patil was sitting in her office, which she runs from the ground floor of her house in Mhada Housing Society of Osmanabad, about 245km from Aurangabad, when she received a knock at the door.
According to the police, Patil was approached by an unidentified individual who gave her a letter to inspect. While she was examining the contents of the letter, the suspect suddenly drew out a sharp-edged weapon and assaulted her. Patil raised an alarm, due to which the suspect panicked and fled from the scene.
Patil said, “I have been raising the issue of corruption allegedly being committed for years in the works being allotted to self-help groups in the district. There is zilla parishad officer, who is holding the same post for the past six years and I made written complaints as well as representations before all the authorities highlighting his acts of corruption. I strongly believe that the attack is an attempt to threaten and silence me from voicing against this officer as well as corruption in SHGs.”
Police said that a demand of Rs 3 lakh extortion has been made in the letter that was handed over to Patil at the time of attack.
Confirming about the attack, superintendent of police Atul Kulkarni said that the police are probing the incident from all the angles. The officer said that a detailed statement of the victim woman has been recorded and police are looking into it.
Authorities said they have deployed a team for scanning all the CCTV cameras on the roads leading to Patil’s residence.
Anandnagar police station inspector Dilip Parekar said, “Acting on her complaint, an FIR has been registered against unidentified suspect for voluntarily causing grievous hurt, extortion and criminal intimidation.”
The officer said that they have got some footage of the suspect and it is being studied to confirm his identity.
