Maharashtra police arrested a man in connection with a threat to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s life, said Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Nagpur on October 3.
Mr. Fadnavis, who also heads the Home Department, said that they have taken input on the threat to the life of CM Shinde seriously. “CM’s security is very important and we are paying full attention to it, apart from other aspects,” he said. However, Mr. Fadnavis did not share specific details of the arrested person.
Pune police had registered a case under Section 177 of the Indian Penal Code and launched a probe following a threat call received by the control room from a man who claimed that a plan was being hatched to kill Chief Minister Shinde.
