Pune Child Crime: NCP-SP Working President Supriya Sule Meets CM Devendra Fadnavis, Gets Assurance Of Personal Monitoring In Narsapur Case

Mumbai, May 5: NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule on Tuesday said Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured her that he will personally monitor the probe into the Narsapur child sexual assault-muder case.

The Baramati MP met the chief minister earlier in the day to demand strict action in the case which has created a furore in the state.

Sule said Fadnavis, who heads the Home department, promised close supervision of the case until the accused received the strictest punishment.

Expressing gratitude on behalf of citizens, she said there is faith in both the state leadership and police machinery to ensure that justice is delivered.

"We trust the police system to take the case to its logical conclusion," Sule said while also raising concerns over rising incidents of violence against women and girls in Maharashtra.

The NCP (SP) leader urged the government to effectively implement the Shakti Act, introduced by the Uddhav Thackeray government, for enhancing women's safety.

A 65-year-old man, who was in the past acquitted in two cases of molestation, has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting and killing a four-year-old girl at Narsapur in Bhor tehsil of Pune district on May 1.
