Opposition Criticizes Maharashtra Government Over Law and Order After Tiger Shroff FiringPreviousNext

Following a firing incident targeting actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai, opposition leaders including Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut and Congress's Harshwardhan Sapkal criticized Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for deteriorating law and order. They accused the government of failing to control crime and demanded accountability, with calls for Fadnavis's resignation and a separate home minister for Mumbai. The government cited past incidents under previous regimes while police continue investigations. Concerns also arose over legal protections for gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, linked to the attack.
