In a series of incidents raising concerns over law and order in Maharashtra, Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar criticized the state's situation after the Dahisar firing incident and the murder of Abhishek Ghosalkar, attributing the emboldened criminal activities to the support of the ruling party. Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole echoed these sentiments, linking the violence to drug smuggling from Gujarat and condemning the prevailing 'goondaism and mafia.' Journalist Nikhil Wagle's car was attacked in Pune, with 20 BJP workers detained in connection to the assault. The attack followed a case registered against Wagle for his remarks on Prime Minister Modi and BJP veteran LK Advani. The opposition has slammed the BJP for the attack, and Patole highlighted the lack of action taken and the increasing violence, stating that people are now 'under gunpoint' and being killed.
