Eight local Shiv Sena workers surrendered before Pune police on Tuesday in connection with an alleged attack on former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya here in Maharashtra last week, an official said.

Somaiya had claimed that he was attacked by "Shiv Sena gundas" in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) premises on Saturday when he had gone there in connection with the allegations of irregularities in contracts to run jumbo COVID-19 hospitals.
