Maharashtra CM Fadnavis assures fast decision of Saif Ali Khan’s assault, whereas opposition criticizes deteriorating regulation and order in Mumbai.
Talking on Saif Ali Khan’s assault, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday stated the police will remedy the case quickly. “The police probe is going on and they have already shared the details. They have also gotten several clues, which they are working on at present. I believe the police will crack the case very soon,” he stated.

Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar stated the police are discovering out the motive behind the assault. “Some said the law-and-order situation has deteriorated in Bandra. But when we investigated, we found the accused in the CCTV footage. The probe is still going on to understand how he (accused) entered Saif’s house and what was his intention- whether it was only to rob them or if someone from the inside is involved in it,” Pawar informed reporters in Pune. He added that anybody who works for the federal government makes all efforts to keep up the law-and-order state of affairs, regardless of their affiliation. “Similarly, several steps and decisions have been taken to consider the security of the people by the state government,” he stated.
Yogesh Kadam, minister of state for dwelling denied any gang involvement within the assault and stated that the Saif can be given police safety if he asks. “There is a committee to discuss and decide the security cover. If Saif believes that his life is still in danger then he should make a demand, and accordingly a decision will be taken by the government,” he said.
In the meantime, opposition leaders continued to slam the federal government over the disintegrating law-and-order within the metropolis. Ambadas Danve, chief of opposition in legislative council quoted Fadnavis calling Mumbai a protected metropolis ‘but sometimes such incidents happen.’ He stated, “It is insensitive and shows the end of morality among ruling politicians. Who is safe in the state? Saif Ali Khan is attacked. Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh was killed. A law student in Parbhani was not safe. A former minister was gunned down even though he had police protection,” Danve remarked.
Mumbai Congress president Varsha Gaikwad stated in a social media publish on Friday: “Mumbai, once a safe haven for everyone who came from across India to pursue their dreams, is now sinking into chaos, with daily crimes like shootings, murders and assaults exposing the collapse of law and order. Safety is basic right, not a luxury and its time the government stops minimising the concerns of citizens and makes Mumbai and Maharashtra safe again.”
