A significant political controversy has emerged in Maharashtra as a report by former Police Director General Rashmi Shukla reveals attempts to trap senior leaders Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde in false criminal cases. The investigation claims that during the probe, officers were allegedly pressured by former officials, including Sanjay Pandey, to fabricate cases against Fadnavis, Shinde, and others, including builders, to serve undisclosed motives. The report highlights that these false accusations were orchestrated while key officials, including the then DGP, DCP, and ACP, faced coercion to manipulate legal proceedings. An SIT was constituted to examine the validity of these allegations and investigate the extent of police misconduct. The revelations have sent shockwaves through Maharashtra’s political landscape, raising questions about misuse of authority and law enforcement integrity. Political parties and public observers are now awaiting reactions and further developments as the state grapples with the fallout.
