Pune, June 8 (UNI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Dev endra Fadnavison Sunday warned that if any evidence is found against inspector general of police, Prisons and Corrections Service, Jalindar Supekar, of his alleged involvement in helping the Hagavane family or corruption worth Rs 500 crore, then appropriate action will be taken.

In a brief interaction with media here, he asserted that "We will not spare anyone, but it is not right to react to baseless allegations."

While responding to allegations of diversion of the Social Department's funds, Fadnavis said that according to the state budget rules, the schemes for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have to be put under the heads of that department, therefore, no money has been diverted from any other department, he clarified.

Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who also holds Finance portfolio, has allocated more funds to the Social Department this time in the state budget and this provision is more than before, he added.

The money has not been diverted anywhere, but it has been spent properly in the same department, he averred.
