“Law, order in Maharashtra collapsed due to HM, CM not paying attention”: Shiv Sena-UBT spokesperson Anand Dubey

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 4 (ANI): Shiv Sena-UBT spokesperson Anand Dubey on Friday denounced the “collapsing” law and order situation in Maharashtra and said that this was due to the lack of attention from the State Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

This came following the alleged rape of a 21 year old girl by three unknown people in the Bopdev Ghat area in Pune on Thursday night, as per reports by the Kondwa police.

He said that the government was “careless” and that the criminals were roaming fearlessly during the festival of Navratri.

“In Maharashtra, the law and order situation has collapsed because the HM and CM are not paying any attention to law and order. The incident that has just come from Kondwa in Pune late last night is that a 21-year-old girl was gang-raped by 3 unknown people… It means that the criminals have no fear of the law. The government is careless, there is no such thing as law and order in the government. The criminals are roaming around fearlessly, that too on the holy festival of Navratri,” Dubey said.

Speaking on the same matter, NCP-SCP MP Supriya Sule said that she was regretful following such an incident, which is also the second such incident in her constituency.

She further slammed the law and order in the state of Maharashtra and said that it had failed in every way.

She further said that this was the failure of the “triple-engine government” in the state and that the Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis should resign from his position.

“With great regret, I would like to say that this is the second such incident in my constituency… The law and order of Maharashtra have failed in every way… Everyday we come across such cases. Pune has become the crime capital of the state… This is a failure of the triple-engine government in the state… The Home Ministry does not issue any statements after such crimes… The state home minister should resign,” she said.

On Thursday night, a 21-year-old girl was allegedly raped by three unknown men in the Bopdev Ghat area in Pune, as per reports by the Kondwa police.

As per the police, the girl had gone to the ghat with her friend, where she was allegedly raped by three unknown accused at around 11 pm. However, the incident was reported to police at around 5 am on Friday.

The search for the accused is still underway and ten teams of the Crime Branch and Detective Branch were formed for the search and arrest of the accused, as per Pune Joint Commissioner of Police Ranjan Kumar Sharma.
