Overview
- Maharashtra Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe said law and order has worsened in Mumbai and Nagpur, placing responsibility on the chief minister who also serves as home minister.
- He cited a WhatsApp threat to Ranveer Singh and five shots fired outside Rohit Shetty’s Juhu residence, for which a Bishnoi gang member claimed responsibility.
- The party pointed to earlier threats and a firing near Salman Khan’s home as evidence of repeated security lapses.
- Londhe questioned how jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi could direct crimes from custody and alleged he benefits from support within the system.
- Congress contrasted this with its past crackdowns on extortion and accused the government of pursuing communal debates instead of tackling unemployment, inflation and women’s safety.
