Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has confirmed that there was no communal angle to the lynching of three people in Palghar in the state. Deshmukh’s clarification came amidst right-wing groups desperately trying to add a communal colour to the lynching of three people including two sadhus (seers).
Deshmukh took to Twitter to write, “Those who attacked and those who died in the attack were not from different religions. Police have been instructed to take stringent action against those trying to create communal tension in society.” Deshmukh also tagged the cyber cell of the Maharashtra Police in his tweet.
हमला करनेवाले और जिनकी इस हमले में जान गई – दोनों अलग धर्मीय नहीं हैं।
बेवजह समाज में/ समाज माध्यमों द्वारा धार्मिक विवाद निर्माण करनेवालों पर पुलिस और @MahaCyber1 को कठोर कार्रवाई करने के आदेश दिए गए हैं।#LawAndOrderAboveAll— ANIL DESHMUKH (@AnilDeshmukhNCP) April 19, 2020
The Maharashtra home minister said that 101 people had been arrested in connection with the lynching of three people, who were on their way to Surat from Mumbai. They were killed on suspicion of being thieves. He wrote, “Police are keeping an eye on those trying to create a rift in society by making it a controversial issue.”
