Maha: Minister Shirsat takes up incident at his residence with CM Fadnavis

Mumbai, Nov 13 (UNI) Senior Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra Minister Sanjay Shirsat today expressed his displeasure about the functioning of the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Police Commissioner after unknown miscreants allegedly visited his residence at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Thursday night, and said that he has taken up the matter with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Significantly, CM Fadnavis holds the Home portfolio and the police reports to him.
According to preliminary information received and the CCTV footage, three youths arrived in a vehicle outside the house of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Guardian Minister Sanjay Shirsat, after which they got into an argument with the security guard there. Later, beer bottles were found outside the scene.
However, the exact reason for the altercation with the security guard, is yet to be officially known.
Talking to media persons, Shirsat said, "There is no law and order. People get killed on the streets in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. I had to contact. I had to contact Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP) Sadanand Date around midnight because the city police commissioner's phone was switched off."
"My objection is not to whatever took place. The issue is about how the police responded to it. The police commissioner's phone was switched off. No ACP or DCP was available. They should have at least taken cognisance when a guardian minister's house was attacked," Shirsat said.
He also expressed concern about the increasing number of criminal incidents in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city, alleging that murders are being reported in broad daylight and that the police commissioner of the city had failed to demonstrate any seriousness about tackling the situation.
Shirsat further said, "If I have to face this, then the question which arises is what is the plight of a common man."
Meanwhile, the incident drew criticism from opposition leaders, who questioned the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance government's handling of law and order in Maharashtra.
Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP and chief Sena spokesperson, Sanjay Raut, tweeted a CCTV video footage of Shirsat on his X handle and tagged it to the X handle of Fadnavis, urging him to take cognisance of the incident.
Senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar also criticised the Fadnavis government, accusing it of failing to maintain law and order in the state. UNI BA SS
