|January 28, 2025
While more cases involving Walmik Karad are coming to light, social activist Anjali Damania on Monday met deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar to show him the evidence she allegedly has of NCP minister Dhananjay Munde's close links with Karad.
MUMBAI: After the meeting, Damania told media persons that Ajit said he would apprise chief minister Fadnavis on Tuesday and decide what to do next.
According to Damania, the pieces of evidence include those that prove Munde's direct link with Walmik Karad, the alleged mastermind in the murder of Massajog sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh. Damania and leaders from across political lines have been demanding Munde's removal from the ministerial council on account of his links with Karad who has been not only arrested by the CID SIT but has been charged under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA), as he is facing serious charges in several criminal cases. Despite this, Ajit Pawar has been backing Munde, saying there is no link to prove that the latter was involved in any of the cases.
