Anil Deshmukh, former Maharashtra Home Minister, has been targeted. After completing a campaign meeting in Narkhed, he was headed towards Katol. At the same time, his vehicle was struck by rocks close to Belphata on Katol Jalalkheda Road. Deshmukh was injured in the head during the attack.

He is receiving medical care at Max Hospital in Nagpur. Upon receiving news of the attack, a significant group of his followers assembled outside Katol Police Station. The activists chanted slogans and staged a sit-in outside the police station. They insist that the police quickly apprehend the assailants.
Sharad Pawar criticized the assault on Anil Deshmukh. MP Supriya Sule has responded to this incident as well. While coming back from campaigning, Supriya reported that Anil Deshmukh, a senior NCP leader, was assaulted by a group of troublemakers. This incident is very unfortunate and distressing. We all denounce this assault.
There has never been such aggression in campaigning during elections in the state. Maharashtra functions as a state under a democratic system. However, the law enforcement situation in our state, particularly in Nagpur, has worsened under the leadership of the BJP. Criminals have full freedom to do as they please. We require a thorough investigation of this incident. Punishment should be given to the people who targeted Deshmukh sahib and the person behind the attack.
Arvind Kejriwal, the previous Chief Minister of Delhi, has denounced this assault. He stated his strong condemnation of the violent assault on Anil Deshmukh. Violence should not exist within a democratic society. SP Nagpur Rural Harsh Potdar made a comment about the assault. Potdar stated that Anil Deshmukh was assaulted at approximately 8 o’clock. He got injured. The investigation has been initiated by the police.
The Maharashtra government has been criticized by the NCP (Sharad faction) for this assault. The party’s social media post on platform X claims that the state is experiencing a breakdown of law and order. Democracy is being ripped apart. The Nationalist Congress Party, led by Sharad Chandra Pawar, denounces this event.
