Sharad Pawar to CM Fadnavis: Ensure adequate security to public representatives

NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar has appealed to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to review security arrangements for public representatives and other leaders and provide them adequate police protection.

PUNE:

In a letter written to Fadnavis on Sunday in this connection, Pawar expressed concern over some of the killers of Santosh Deshmukh, the sarpanch of a village in Beed district, still at large nearly one month after the incident.

The reaction to the brutal incident is now coming across the state and the first ‘Akrosh Morcha’ was organised recently in Beed where public representatives demanded the arrest of the "mastermind" of the crime, the former state CM said without naming anyone.
