Abhishek Goshalkar, a leader of Uddhav Sena, was shot on Thursday in Mumbai.
Abhishek Goshalkar, Shiv Sena (UBT) corporate and the son of ex-MLA, was shot in Mumbai on Thursday. He was taken to Karuna Hospital in Borivali in serious condition. This incident comes just days after a BJP MLA was caught on camera firing at an Eknath Shinde faction leader at a police station in Ulhasnagar, raising concerns about the law and order situation in Maharashtra.
It has been reported that the entire incident was live-streamed on Facebook. In response to the incident, party spokesperson Anand Dubey said, “An attempt to create an atmosphere of anarchy in Maharashtra is being made. BJP, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, Ajit Pawar’s NCP have completely failed…Nobody seems to be safe now…If a public representative is not safe, what can we say about the common people? Is the government itself creating an atmosphere of fear? Is the opposition being targeted? Sanjay Raut says that this government is nurturing goons. Its living example was seen in Mumbai today…Who will answer this?…”
