A mob of 60 to 70 persons was booked on Sunday for allegedly manhandling Maharashtra BJP leader Kirit Somaiya in the Pune Municipal Corporation premises a day earlier, police said. No arrest has been made yet.


The incident took place when Somaiya had gone to the civic body complex to speak about alleged irregularities in the contract of a jumbo Covid-19 hospital, an official said. A case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code on the complaint of local BJP leaders, said Shivajinagar police station inspector Vikram Gaud.


On Sunday, Somaiya told reporters outside the civic headquarters that he had submitted an application to the municipal commissioner and mayor about a healthcare firm obtaining the contract to run a jumbo Covid facility by giving “fake documents”.
