Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], January 19 (ANI): Maharashtra Minority Commission Chairman Pyare Khan praised the Mumbai Police for their swift action in arresting the accused in the Saif Ali Khan stabbing case. He also dismissed claims of a “collapsing” law and order situation in the state.
Khan stated that it was unfair to suggest that the law and order situation in Mumbai and Maharashtra was deteriorating, adding that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was working for the development of all communities. He also assured minorities that there was no need for concern or fear and encouraged them to approach the Minority Commission if they faced any issues.
“I congratulate Mumbai Police for arresting the accused…I came to know that the accused is Bangladeshi. Police and the government are investigating it. Those who are saying that the law and order situation here is not good, it is not right. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is working for the development of all. We all should support him. I want to assure all the minorities that there is nothing to fear, Maharashtra is completely safe. If they face any problem, they can come and complain to the Minority Commission and we will ensure their safety,” Khan told ANI.
Meanwhile, Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe Patil on Sunday questioned the central government regarding the alleged influx of Rohingyas and Bangladeshi nationals into Maharashtra. He expressed concern over the challenges posed to ordinary citizens by this issue.
“It is a very serious matter that such allegations are being made that Rohingyas and Bangladeshis have come to Maharashtra in large numbers. It is being said that the accused who committed such a big crime in Saif’s house is a Bangladeshi. Therefore, questions will be raised on the central government how do people reach Maharashtra after crossing 5-6 states? What does the BSF do, what does our army do and what does the intelligence department of the central government do? The common people have to bear the brunt of this,” Patil told ANI.
Focusing on the law and order situation in Maharashtra, he further said that no one was safe in the state, including celebrities and sarpanches.
“From celebrities to sarpanches, no one is safe in Maharashtra and such a situation of law and order never existed in Maharashtra. Today the situation is such that due to political pressure, the police administration, and revenue administration are not able to do their work,” Patil said.
Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Sunday refuted the claims made by the opposition following the attack on actor Saif Ali Khan. He said that the accused had migrated from Bangladesh and wasn’t aware that it was the residence of a film star.
Pawar, who is also the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief, said that the accused had entered the residence of Saif Ali Khan with the intention to commit robbery.
The Mumbai Police on Sunday morning confirmed that the person arrested for allegedly attacking actor Saif Ali Khan is an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh. The accused, identified as Mohd Shariful Islam Shehzad, entered the residence of the renowned actor with the intent to commit theft.
As per the police statement, various investigation teams were formed to investigate the crime, and a case has been registered under sections 311, 312, 331(4), 331(6), and 331(7) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). (ANI)
