Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil on Monday told the state Assembly that the Beed Superintendent of Police R Raja Swami will be sent on forced leave over complaints of deteriorating law and order and a probe into these will be conducted in 15 days.
He was speaking during a discussion on a Calling Attention notice on the law and order situation in Beed.
NCP MLAs Prakash Solanke and Sandeep Kshirsagar said the local police had failed to prevent the deterioration of law and order in the district, with the latter alleging that incidents of betting and prostitution were rising, while the sand mafia operated unchecked.
BJP’s Namita Mundada said she recently went out with her infant and husband to have sugarcane juice in her constituency in Beed, and people coming out of a nearby illegal liquor vend tried to forcibly click photographs with her.
“When I refused saying I was with my family, these people created ruckus. I contacted the police but nobody answered,” Mundada told the House.
Walse Patil said he would convene a meeting of legislators from Beed and probe all the allegations and incidents in 15 days.
