Mumbai: Trouble mounts for Minister for Social Justice in the Maharashtra government and Shiv Sena leader, Sanjay Shirsat, who has received a notice from the Income Tax Department.
Just a day after the notice was served, an alleged video of Shirsat is now going viral on social media. The video shows a bundle of notes in a bag present in his room. The MLA can be seen sitting on a bed wearing a vest and shorts, smoking a cigarette. A pet dog can also be seen in the video.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut posted the video on X and said, "I feel pity for Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis! How many more times will he just sit and watch his reputation being torn to shreds? Helplessness has another name: Fadnavis!"
