Maharashtra: The Congress Chief of Maharashtra Nana Patole on Thursday targeted the state government over the stabbing attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan and said that the incident has exposed loopholes in law and order in the government of the state.
Speaking with the media Patole said that the deadly attack on Bollywood’s famous actor and Padma Shri awardee Saif Ali Khan has exposed the loopholes in Maharashtra’s law and order system.
“If such incidents are happening in the busiest and posh area of Bandra in Mumbai, then who is safe in Mumbai?” he asked.
He also said that with the rising crime incidents in Mumbai, Pune, Beed, Parbhani, and Nagpur, the question arises: is there a Home Minister in the state or not? Such questions are in the minds of the public.
The Congress leader further asserted that gangsters are openly challenging Maharashtra’s law and order under Mahayuti’s rule. Patole claimed that the terror of gangsters has been continuously increasing under the current government.
“Serious incidents such as organized crime and political patronage in Beed, deaths in police custody in Parbhani, the shooting of former Minister Baba Siddiqui in Bandra, and the shooting at actor Salman Khan’s house have already occurred. This clearly indicates that Fadnavis has failed in his duties as the Home Minister. Leaders of the ruling party, celebrities, and even ordinary citizens are not safe,” Patole stated.
The shocking incident unfolded at Khan’s residence in the ‘Satguru Sharan’ building in Mumbai’s Bandra after an intruder allegedly confronted Khan’s maid during the early hours of Thursday.
