Maharashtra Minister of Women and Child Development Mangal Prabhat Lodha on Monday belied the claims of Uddhav camp leaders that Shinde legislators used vehicles, bought from Nirbhaya Fund, as escort security.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Monday wrote to the Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP) and demanded "immediate withdrawal of vehicles procured under Nirbhaya fund" and to be sent back to the "Nirbhaya Squad".
Uddhav camp Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi alleged that several vehicles procured by the Mumbai Police under the Nirbhaya Fund, which was meant to be used for fighting crimes against women, are instead being used for legislators of the ruling Eknath Shinde-led Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena faction, which is part of the ruling coalition in the Maharashtra government.
