Labelling serious allegations against former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his government, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar has demanded the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT), to probe the Bhima Koregaon case, sources quoted by Zee News have said. "The Fadnavis government provided wrong information to the media and created confusion," the NCP chief said in the letter. On Thursday, Maharashtra Police briefed Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Home Minister Anil Deshmukh about the status of probe in the Bhima Koregaon case that took place in Pune on January 1, 2018. According to sources, the home ministry expressed displeasure over the investigation raised concerns over the role of Pune police in the case. On this whole matter, Shiv Sena says that whatever the government will do, is for the good of Maharashtra.
