โ€œRule Of Law Must Be Followedโ€: Devendra Fadnavis

Shashank

Deputy CM and Home Minister of Maharashtra, speaking at the India Today conclave on Thursday, said the police โ€œwill not clapโ€ if they are attacked. Fadnavis was responding to a question on the encounter of Akshay Shinde, accused of sexually abusing two minor girls in Badlapur.

โ€œWe do not believe in encounters,โ€ the Bharatiya Janata Party leader said. โ€œI personally believe that the rule of law must be followed and, accordingly, the criminal must be punished, and that must be done quickly.โ€

Fadnavis claimed that the police shot the man in self-defence.

Police Version: 

According to the crime branch, they took Shindeโ€™s custody around 5.30 pm on Monday from Taloja jail, where he was lodged.

A team of around ten policemen was escorting him from the jail in a police vehicle, with four armed officers seated next to him, according to reports.

As the vehicle reached the Mumbra Bypass, Shinde allegedly snatched the pistol of assistant police inspector Nilesh More and fired three rounds at him, one of which hit him in the thigh.

In defence, senior inspector Sanjay Shinde fired one round at Akshay Shinde, which struck him in the head. Shinde was then taken to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Kalwa, where he was declared dead, the senior police officer said. His body was taken to JJ Hospital in Mumbai for post-mortem on Monday evening.

Interestingly, police inspector Sanjay Shinde, whose bullet killed Akshay, has in the past worked with a suspended former cop, popularly known as encounter specialist  Pradeep Sharma.
