Alleging that the Mumbai Police were not taking the "attack" on BJP leader Kirit Somaiya over the weekend allegedly by Shiv Sainiks seriously, Maharashtra opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis has written a letter to the Union Home Secretary claiming the city force was acting like the "servants" of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government.

In the letter to Union Home secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla, dated April 24, Fadnavis urged him to take cognisance of "deteriorating law and order" in the state and the "trampling upon" of the basic rights of the opposition leaders, and sought strict action in the matter.
