Shiv Sena MLA returns from Surat, says injections were forced on him

In another sensational twist amid the political storm in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena MLA Nitin Deshmukh, who was earlier presumed to have joined rebel Sena leader Eknath Shinde, has resurfaced voicing his support for Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.

He claimed that he was "kidnapped" and taken to Gujarat's Surat from where he escaped.

Mr Deshmukh said, at the hospital, he was forcibly given some injections.
