BJP Demands Narco Test for Ex-Cop in Fadnavis Plot
The BJP in Mumbai wants a former top police officer, Sanjay Pandey, to take special tests called narcoanalysis and brain mapping.
They believe this will help find out who was behind a plan to falsely accuse Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde of crimes they didn't commit.
The BJP says this happened when another political group, the MVA led by Uddhav Thackeray, was in power.
They also mention that during that time, there were other serious incidents involving police officers.
The BJP wants a thorough investigation to find out the truth.
However, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut says the report by Rashmi Shukla, who recommended the investigation, cannot be trusted because she is allegedly associated with the RSS.
BJP demands narcoanalysis and brain mapping tests for former Mumbai police commissioner Sanjay Pandey to uncover the mastermind behind an alleged plot to frame Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde.
Former DGP Rashmi Shukla recommended an FIR against Sanjay Pandey and two other police officers for their alleged involvement in the conspiracy.
The conspiracy allegedly involved reinvestigating a 2016 extortion case to implicate Fadnavis and Shinde, who were then the Leader of Opposition and a minister, respectively.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut accused Shukla of being an RSS worker and claimed her report cannot be trusted.
BJP leaders allege that during Uddhav Thackeray's tenure, there was an atmosphere of anarchy, with opponents being jailed and cases filed against those who spoke against the government.

Ashish Shelar
State minister and BJP leader
“Under whose pressure was Sanjay Pandey working? Who gave the orders? Who were the chief minister and home minister at that time? This was done to send Devendra Fadnavis and Eknath Shinde to jail. Uddhav Thackeray has built a false image of innocence, but he will have to pay for this sin. During Uddhav Thackeray’s tenure, there was a situation of police chasing police.”
