Sanjay Raut Questions Fadnavis' Eligibility Amid Nagpur Car Accident Controversy

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut criticized Devendra Fadnavis' eligibility to lead the Maharashtra home department following an accident involving a luxury car owned by state BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule’s son. Raut claimed evidence was removed, and there can't be a fair investigation while Fadnavis remains the home minister.

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut on Tuesday said Devendra Fadnavis was not eligible to head the Maharashtra home department, an attack coming a day after the accident involving a luxury car owned by state BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule's son.

Speaking to reporters, Raut alleged that evidence has been removed in the case, preventing a fair investigation while BJP leader Fadnavis is home minister.

The Audi car owned by Bawankule's son, Sanket, hit several vehicles in Nagpur, with occupants returning from a beer bar. No action has been taken against Sanket, who allegedly escaped the scene. Raut alleged Fadnavis' leadership prevents impartial investigations in such matters.
