Former Maharashtra minister and NCP leader, Eknath Khadse, had a close shave after one of the tyres of his vehicle burst on Sunday evening in Jalgaon district, a police official said.

Nobody was injured, he said. "The incident happened when Khadse was on his way to Jalgaon from Amalner in the district, after attending the inauguration of a newly-built quarter for police officials and a police station by state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh," the official said.
