In a shocking turn of events in Ulhasnagar, Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a high-level inquiry into a firing incident that saw Kalyan MLA Ganpat Gaikwad of the BJP open fire on Mahesh Gaikwad, the Shiv Sena chief of Kalyan, inside a police station over a land dispute. The incident, which took place on Friday night in the Thane district, has prompted serious concern, with Fadnavis emphasizing the gravity of the situation and asserting that everyone is equal before the law, regardless of political affiliations.

The inquiry, directed by Fadnavis, aims to uncover the circumstances and motivations behind MLA Ganpat Gaikwad’s actions, with the Deputy Chief Minister ensuring that the rule of law is upheld.
