Amid Threats Of Another Ink Attack, Maharashtra Minister Wears Face Shield
Pune:

Two persons were booked for threatening an ink attack on Maharashtra minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Chandrakant Patil, who incidentally wore a face shield while attending a function in Pimpri Chinchwad on Saturday.

Action was taken on the basis of a social media message against Mr Patil, on whom ink was thrown recently over his statement that social reformers Babasaheb Ambedkar and Jyotiba Phule "begged" for funds rather than depending on government grants to run educational institutions.

BJP minister Chandrakant Patil who faced anger of people & ink marks last week is now protecting himself with a customised face shield
