BJP MLC First to Record Statement in CM's SIT Probe

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the state government on Thursday recorded the statement of BJP MLC Pravin Darekar, who had demanded a probe into an alleged plot to frame Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde in false cases during the tenure of the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.

MUMBAI: The SIT is headed by joint commissioner of police, law and order, Satyanarayan Chaudhary.

"I had raised the question in the assembly," said Darekar. "The government took the issue very seriously, registered a case and formed a SIT, which has been directed to submit a report in the matter. I can't share the exact details but I have shared whatever evidence I had with it," Darekar told reporters after recording his statement. "Framing of leaders in such a manner is very dangerous."
