Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Nana Patole has asked police and the state government to conduct a high-level inquiry into threats received by former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan and Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut. 

"There appears to be a conspiracy to eliminate prominent opposition leaders. Both Chavan and Raut have lodged a complaint to the police. We expect that the state government will order a high-level probe into the threats. We feel that ever since Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis assumed office, there is a sudden spurt in threats to prominent Opposition leaders,” Patole said in a statement.
