Maharashtra Minister Sanjay Shirsats Home Targeted in Attack Attempt, Three Arrested
Maharashtras Sanjay Shirsat faced an attack attempt at his home. Three intoxicated youths were arrested after causing chaos and confronting security.
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : Late Thursday night, an attempt was made to attack the residence of Maharashtra’s Social Justice Minister Sanjay Shirsat in the Golwadi area of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. Reports indicate that three intoxicated young men created a disturbance, broke bottles, and clashed with security personnel.
The Satara police quickly apprehended the trio and have begun interrogations. Minister Shirsat himself shared details of the incident via a video message shortly after it occurred.
According to Shirsat, the incident took place between 10:30 PM and 11:00 PM, when the three men caused a ruckus near his bungalow. When security staff intervened, the suspects allegedly threw bottles towards the house.
Shirsat stated that the entire incident was captured on CCTV. Initially, the young men appeared to have fallen from their vehicle, then left the scene, only to return to the main gate. When guards attempted to stop them, the suspects reportedly tried to intimidate the staff.
Initial reports suggested that two security guards were injured; however, Shirsat later clarified that no serious injuries occurred. One party worker sustained minor injuries and was sent for medical treatment. This marks the second such incident at Shirsat’s home, as a previous case involved a young man reaching the premises armed with a knife.
Following the attack attempt, Minister Shirsat expressed significant frustration with the local police and questioned the state of law and order in the city. He alleged that when he attempted to contact the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar police commissioner immediately after the incident, the commissioner’s phone was switched off. He did, however, commend Maharashtra’s Director General of Police for answering his call at midnight and assuring him that an investigation would be conducted.
