MUMBAI: High drama unfolded at a hotel near the airport around 5.30pm when Shiv Sena leaders Eknath Shinde (left) and Milind Narvekar (right) caught Sanjay Bansod (in black jacket), NCP MLA from Udgir, who was set to fly out of Mumbai . There was speculation that he was on his way to Delhi. The buzz on social media was Bansod was “missing”.He was taken to a hotel where Sena MLAs have been put up. Sena leaders then apparently spoke to Sharad Pawar, who had a chat with Bansod and sent MLA Shashikant Shinde to the hotel. Shinde, along with Narvekar and Eknath Shinde, took Bansod to Y B Chavan centre where an NCP meet was on.
