SIT to probe ‘conspiracy’ to frame Fadnavis during MVA rule

NAGPUR: The state government will constitute a special investigation team to probe an alleged conspiracy to frame Devendra Fadnavis, Eknath Shinde and other Mahayuti leaders during the tenure of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government. “The footage shows a deputy police commissioner pressurising a citizen to give false statements to implicate the then leader of opposition Devendra Fadnavis,” Darekar said. “ACP Patil clearly states that the real targets of the case are Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde, the then urban development minister,” Darekar added. Accusing the MVA government of targetting Fadnavis as he exposed corruption during its tenure, Darekar put forth four demands – an SIT investigation into the allegations; suspension of DCP Laxmikant Patil; removal of public prosecutor Shekhar Jagtap from the government panel; and registration of a case against former director general of police and Mumbai police commissioner, Sanjay Pandey.
