Mumbai: A video of a police officer washing Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad's car is going viral on social media, sparking debate about whether it was within the cop's duties to provide security for the lawmaker from the ruling party.

Gaikwad stated that the officer responsible for security had gotten sick in the vehicle after breakfast and offered to clean it up. He mentioned that no one requested for him to wash the car. In February, Gaikwad stated that he had killed a tiger in 1987 and has been carrying its tooth as a necklace.

Shortly thereafter, the Forest Department confiscated the item and accused him under the Wildlife Protection Act. The alleged tiger tooth was forwarded for forensic analysis. The lawmaker, a member of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's party, had previously shared a video on social media saying he had successfully tracked down a large feline.

Harshwardhan Sapkal, an ex-Congress MLA who posted the video, expressed that it was a typical example of police personnel being misused. He further stated, "This is Disgraceful."

Gaikwad mentioned that the officer responsible for his security had gotten sick in the vehicle after eating breakfast and offered to clean it up. He mentioned that no one requested him to wash the car.

In 1987, Gaikwad said he hunted a tiger and has been wearing its tooth as a necklace since February. Shortly after, the state forest department confiscated the item and filed charges against him based on the Wildlife Protection Act.
