In an incident that triggered a political issue in Maharashtra, the son of an MLA of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena has been booked on charges of kidnapping and assaulting a businessman.

The victim is a CEO of a music company.

The Vanrai police station in Goregaon has registered an FIR against Dahisar MLA Prakash Surve’s son Raj Surve and others.

In a CCTV footage, 10-15 people are seen forcibly entering an office, assaulting the staff and forcibly taking away one person.

Junior Surve and others have been booked under sections 364-A, 452, 143, 147, 149, 323, 504 and 506 of Indian Penal Code and section 3 and 25 of the Arms Act.
