Mumbai : Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has made a strong demand for the transfer of the Santosh Deshmukh murder case outside Beed district, citing concerns about the impartiality of the investigation.
Deshmukh, a sarpanch from Beed, was murdered recently, and the case has sparked widespread outrage and protests. Raut has alleged that the investigation is being influenced by local politicians and that a fair trial is not possible in Beed.
Raut also criticized Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, saying that he had failed to take decisive action in the case. He demanded that Fadnavis should ensure that justice is delivered and that the perpetrators are brought to book.
The Shiv Sena MP also expressed concerns about the law and order situation in Beed, saying that the district has a history of violence and that the local administration has failed to take effective action to prevent such incidents.
Raut's demand for the transfer of the case has added to the growing pressure on the Maharashtra government to take decisive action in the matter. The government has already faced criticism for its handling of the case, and Raut's intervention is likely to further escalate the situation.
In a related development, Raut also took a dig at the BJP, saying that the party is trying to politicize the issue. He claimed that the Shiv Sena is committed to ensuring justice for Deshmukh's family and that the party will not let the BJP succeed in its attempts to politicize the issue.
Raut's comments have sparked a fresh row in the state's politics, with the BJP hitting back at the Shiv Sena MP. The issue is likely to dominate the state's politics in the coming days, with both parties trying to outmaneuver each other.
