Police have arrested a 40-year-old man for allegedly attacking Congress MLC Pradnya Rajeev Satav in Maharashtra's Hingoli district, an official said on Thursday.

Satav in a tweet on Wednesday said, "Today I was brutally attacked at Kasbe Dhawanda, village Kalamnuri. An unknown person attacked me from behind. It was a serious attempt to injure me and there is a threat to my life." 'An attack on lady MLC is an attack on Democracy. Fight from front don't be a coward,' said the legislator, who is the wife of late Congress leader Rajeev Satav.
