A video showing lenient police treatment of a local BJP worker who was arrested in an assault case has sparked controversy in Maharashtra's Beed district. The video, which went viral, has prompted a senior official to ensure strict action against those involved.

Satish Bhosale, an aide of local BJP MLA Suresh Dhas, was arrested in Prayagraj earlier this month. He faces multiple criminal cases, including an FIR for allegedly assaulting a man with a cricket bat. The viral video shows Bhosale receiving favorable treatment outside the Beed district jail, attracting criticism from the public and officials.

Beed Superintendent of Police Navneet Kanwat assured that serious measures would be taken. He said the involved officer would be suspended and a show-cause notice issued. The video was reportedly shot before Bhosale was taken into judicial custody.
