Erstwhile Uddhav Govt Tried To Frame False Charges Against Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde? SIT To Probe

The Maharashtra government has formed a special investigation team (SIT) to investigate an alleged plot against Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and other Mahayuti leaders. This alleged conspiracy is said to have occurred during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government's tenure. The SIT will be led by Satyanarayan Chaudhary, Joint Commissioner of Police, Law & Order, Mumbai.

The decision to establish the SIT follows claims made by businessman Sanjay Punamiya. He stated that media outlets aired sting operations involving a former police officer. In these operations, the officer allegedly discussed plans by the former Mumbai Police chief to arrest Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde.

Allegations and Investigation

Punamiya's allegations suggest that the arrests would be connected to a case against him. These claims prompted BJP MLC Pravin Darekar to call for an investigation into the conspiracy. As a result, the SIT was tasked with examining these serious accusations.

The SIT has been given a deadline of 30 days to submit its findings to the government. This swift timeline indicates the urgency and importance placed on uncovering the truth behind these allegations.
