Thackeray slams Maharashtra govt over Tiger Shroff attack response

Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday targeted the Maharashtra government led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, questioning the official response to an attack on Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader alleged that the government prioritized publicity over proper investigation and victim support.

"An attack took place on Tiger Shroff recently. Did you immediately rush to meet him to gain publicity?" Thackeray asked, implying the government's response was performative rather than substantive. The remarks reflect growing tensions between the opposition and the ruling coalition on law and order issues in the state.

Thackeray further challenged the administration to confront the leadership of organized crime syndicates allegedly operating in Maharashtra. His comments underscore opposition concerns about the government's capacity to tackle gang violence and criminal networks that have targeted high-profile individuals in recent months.

The incident involving the actor had raised concerns about security lapses and the reach of criminal organizations in urban centers. Thackeray's statement adds political pressure on the Fadnavis government to demonstrate decisive action against organized crime and strengthen protective measures for potential targets.
