Bureau Prayagraj. The Bombay High Court on Thursday strongly reprimanded the Maharashtra government and asked whether there is any law and order in the state.? The court also said that the children of ministers ‘commit crimes and roam freely‘ But the police are unable to find them.

The court asked whether the Chief Minister is so helpless that he cannot say anything against a minister whose son has absconded after being named in a criminal case. Justice Madhav Jamdar, while making a sharp comment, said that the children of ministers ‘commit crimes and roam freely‘ But the police are unable to find them.

The court made this comment during the hearing of the anticipatory bail plea of ​​Vikas Gogavale, son of Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra government minister Bharat Gogavale. Vikas has been made an accused in a case related to the violent clash between rival groups during the Mahad Municipal Council elections.

After the court’s rebuke, the government has assured that Minister Gogavale will ensure that his son surrenders within a day. Vikas Gogavale has moved the High Court after the Sessions Court rejected his anticipatory bail plea., But he is still absconding.

Justice Madhav Jamdar said”Is the Chief Minister of the state so helpless that he does not say anything against any minister??
