In a shocking incident on the eve of the Maharashtra assembly elections, an unidentified woman caused trouble in the office of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday evening. The woman not only removed Fadnavis’ nameplate and threw it on the ground, but also damaged several pots and plants in the office.

Witnesses reported that the woman entered the sixth floor office of the Department of State and began exhibiting disruptive behavior and creating a ruckus. Despite police efforts to apprehend her, she managed to escape through a door at the south end of the building. Police have since opened an investigation to identify the woman and determine how she was able to access such a secure area.

Authorities at the Marine Drive police station are currently looking into the circumstances of the incident, including the processes involved in obtaining a security pass that allowed him to enter Fadnavis’ office. In response to this security breach, measures have been strengthened around the office to prevent similar events from occurring in the future.

This incident has triggered a significant debate in Maharashtra’s political circles regarding security protocols within government offices. Critics have expressed concerns about the implications of such a breach, questioning the security of the deputy chief minister’s office if unauthorized people can enter it so easily.

With parliamentary elections due to take place in the next two months, Fadnavis is focusing on election preparations and political events. The heightened security measures aim to ensure the safety of officials and premises as tensions rise in the run-up to the elections. Police continue to search for the unidentified woman involved in the vandalism.
