In a dramatic and unprecedented move, a petition has been filed in the Bombay High Court seeking the removal of Dhananjay Munde, a senior cabinet minister in the Maharashtra government, amidst a raging controversy surrounding the murder of Santosh Deshmukh, Sarpanch of Massajog in Beed district.
The petition, filed by Dhananjay Deshmukh, the younger brother of the deceased, alleges that Munde's involvement in the murder case is not only unethical but also illegal. The petition demands Munde's immediate removal from the cabinet, citing his alleged role in obstructing the investigation and influencing the witnesses.
According to the petition, Munde's close aide, Valmik Karad, is one of the main accused in the murder case and is currently absconding. The petition alleges that Munde has been using his ministerial powers to shield Karad and other accused persons, thereby subverting the course of justice.
The murder of Santosh Deshmukh has sent shockwaves across the state, with opposition parties launching a scathing attack on the Maharashtra government, accusing it of failing to provide justice to the victim's family. The case has also sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many demanding Munde's resignation and a fair investigation into the case.
The petition filed in the Bombay High Court is likely to add fuel to the fire, further embarrassing the Maharashtra government and putting pressure on Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to take action against Munde. The court is expected to hear the petition soon, and the outcome could have significant implications for Munde's political career and the stability of the Maharashtra government.
