Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has condemned the recent incident of mob lynching in Maharashtra's Palghar in which three people were beaten to death on suspicion of being thieves.

CM Uddhav Thackeray has spoken about the incident and doing whatever he can. But some people are raising question on law and order of the state even when the incident happened due to some rumours. This is not good: Sharad Pawar, NCP https://t.co/8KAMLeqqnA

"Whatever happened in Palghar should not have happened, it is unfortunate and condemnable. Police acted quickly on them and arrested over 100 people involved in the incident on the same night," said Pawar. "Some people are talking and raising question about law and order situation of the State even when the incident occurred due to some roumours...this is not good. We make such comments in normal times but this is not the time to do so.
