Deshmukh said, “The reason behind our decison to take the case to its logical end and filing the chargesheet is that we are trying to help the Naik family get justice.” Goswami was recently arrested by the Raigad police and was released on interim bail on the Supreme Court’s orders.
Deshmukh, who was in Nagpur on Saturday to campaign for Congress candidate Abhijeet Wanjari for the graduates constituency polls, also claimed that the Bombay high court’s observations regarding the action against actor Kangana Ranaut’s bungalow were aimed at the Mumbai civic body’s move against her and not the state government.
“Many talented artistes come to Maharashtra to earn fame and money. They are welcome, but commenting in such derogatory manner regarding the government and police force is objectionable and not right,” he said.
He accused the opposition of issuing “baseless” statements on the stability of the MVA government.
