Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse-Patil on Thursday announced the formation of Special Investigation Team (SIT) under senior IPS officer to probe cases of threats issued to political leaders and social workers.

The point of information was raised by Shiv Sena MLA Suneel Prabhu pointing out threat issued to State’s Environment Minister named Jaisingh Rajput, who claims to be a fan of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

Mr. Prabhu also pointed out that this is not the first time that any threat has been linked to Karnataka. “When murders of rationalist Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare took place, the links of it too had gone to Karnataka,” he said.
