Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said if necessary, a dedicated SIT would be set up to probe whether the “sudden glorification” of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb by some elements in the state was deliberate.

Speaking in the Assembly in response to a calling-attention notice by BJP MLA Nitesh Rane, Fadnavis who holds the home portfolio, said Aurangzeb can never be a role model for Indian Muslims.
