An official said that the police on Thursday detained four Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers in connection with the attack on Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLC Amol Mitkari's car in Akola two days ago, reported news agency PTI.

The NCP legislator, however, held a protest outside the district Superintendent of Police (SP) office in Akola, alleging that the police were taking no against the accused and shielding them, reported PTI.
