An attempt-to-murder case has been registered against Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) legislator Prakash Solanke, his wife and others after a group of unidentified people attacked a businessman in Maharashtra's Beed district, an official said on Wednesday.

A businessman named Ashok Shejul was allegedly beaten up by 5-6 unidentified people in Majalgaon city on Tuesday. Solanke represents the Majalgaon constituency.

In his complaint, Shejul said the attackers came on bikes and hit him with pipes.

The attackers told Shejul that he should be killed because he keeps complaining about "Prakashdada's" (MLA Solanke) organisation, the official said citing the complaint.
