A court in Nashik on Wednesday sentenced independent MLA and former Maharashtra minister Omprakash alias Bachchu Kadu to two years' rigorous imprisonment for obstructing government work and trying to assault an official during a 2017 agitation.
Mr Kadu, leader of the Prahar Sanghatana who supports the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government, subsequently secured bail from the court.
His lawyer said they will file an appeal in the High Court against the sentence.
On July 24, 2017, the Prahar Sanghatana had staged an agitation outside the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) over the issue of non-utilization of three per cent funds reserved for the specially-abled persons.
