“Maharashtra Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar Vows Justice for Victim in Thane Incident”

Accident – Death – Obituary News : Reacting to the recent incident in Thane, Maharashtra Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar emphasized that the accused in the case, regardless of their social status, will face the full force of the law. Speaking to ANI, Mungantiwar stated, “Whether the individual is the son of an officer or a prominent leader, they will not be spared from the consequences of their actions.” He further emphasized that no matter who the perpetrator is, if they have committed such a crime, they will be punished accordingly.

The incident in Chandrapur has garnered attention from political figures, with Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi expressing her concern. Chaturvedi stated, “This incident not only sends shivers down one’s spine, but it also exposes the people in positions of authority. The accused, who is the President of the Bharatiya Janata Party Yuva Morcha, and his father, a senior bureaucrat in Thane district, are involved in this heinous crime.” Chaturvedi further criticized the government’s approach to women’s safety, stating that Maharashtra lacks the necessary actions to ensure women’s security.

Chaturvedi questioned the BJP’s commitment to their “Mahila Bachao-Mahila Badhao” program in light of incidents like the Thane incident and women’s protests. She asserted that it is unfortunate that individuals with a negative attitude towards women are given positions of responsibility within the party.

In response to the incident, BJP leader Narayan Rane countered opposition claims that law and order has deteriorated in Maharashtra. Rane raised the question of whether law and order were intact during the time of Disha Salian and Sushant Singh’s deaths. He defended the government’s actions, stating that if a case is registered, the accused will be arrested and subjected to a thorough investigation.

Congress leader Tariq Anwar condemned the incident, highlighting the need for a change in societal thinking, especially in cases involving love. Anwar referred to such incidents as a social evil that needs to be addressed.

The incident involved a 26-year-old woman who suffered severe injuries when her boyfriend, the son of a senior bureaucrat, allegedly attempted to run her over with his car in Thane. The accused, identified as Ashwajit Gaikwad, is now facing charges under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Amar Singh Jadhav provided details of the incident, stating that it occurred around 4 a.m. near a hotel on Ghodbunder Road. An argument between the victim, Gaikwad, and two other individuals, Romil Patil and Sagar, led to the victim sustaining injuries. The victim’s statement was recorded at the hospital, prompting the police to register a case against the three accused.

The victim, who suffered multiple injuries, expressed her frustration with the lack of action taken by the police when she initially filed a complaint. However, after sharing her experience on social media, she received support from the police. Her lawyer, Darshana Pawar, highlighted the severity of the injuries and urged the authorities to include additional sections in the case.

Further updates on the matter are awaited as the investigation continues..
