The strife between rival Shiv Sena factions boiled over after six Sena partymen loyal to the Uddhav Thackeray faction were arrested by the Pune police on Wednesday in connection with an attack on ‘rebel’ MLA and former Maharashtra Minister Uday Samant.
While five of the accused, including Sena Pune city chief Sanjay More (an Uddhav camp loyalist) were from Pune, a Hingoli-based leader Baban Thorat was detained in Mumbai and brought to Pune.
All six were produced before a local court where they were remanded to a two-day police custody till August 6.
