Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Dina Patil is facing criticism after he allegedly threatened TV journalists during a press interaction in Mumbai on Thursday. The episode has prompted Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to urge Patil to apologise, while Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis warned that anyone making threats would face consequences.
Tensions rose further when Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut wrote to Mumbai Police Commissioner Deven Bharti, calling for criminal proceedings against Patil over earlier comments in which he reportedly said he would “throw bombs” at people protesting against him.
