Two individuals accused of attacking NCP leader Jitendra Awhad's car have been placed under five-day police custody. A case has been registered against Swarajya Sanghatana officials under various charges. Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut criticized Maharashtra's law and order situation following the incidents.

Two individuals accused in the alleged attack on Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Chandra Pawar) leader Jitendra Awhad's car have been remanded to five days in police custody by a Mumbai court on Saturday. The Dongri Police identified the accused as Shravan Dubey and Pradeep Fanase.

The Dongri police reported on Friday that a case has also been registered against Swarajya Sanghatana's General Secretary, Dhananjay Jadhav, and Ankrish Kadam. The charges fall under Sections 109 (attempt to murder), 126 (2) (wrongful restraint), 189 (1), 189 (2), 180 (4), and 190 (every member of unlawful assembly guilty of an offense committed in prosecution of common object) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023.

Further investigation is ongoing. Responding to the attack on Awhad's car, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut criticized the law and order situation in Maharashtra.

"One MLA is from the ruling party and the other MLA is Jitendra Awhad, who is from the opposition; both were attacked. Where is the law and order in this state?... Maharashtra is a big state and was known for its law and order," Raut stated. He insisted that during Uddhav Thackeray's regime, the law and order situation was satisfactory.

"There was leadership in Maharashtra...politics is being done here forcefully, and the control is from Delhi and Gujarat, because of this, we are paying the price," he added. (ANI)
