Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a probe in the May 2017 alleged gang-rape of a 30-year-old woman in Kalyan. On Wednesday, the survivor met Fadnavis, where he asked Director General of Police Dattatray Padsalgikar why the probe had been delayed, and instructed him to begin it at the earliest. Fadnavis confirmed to mid-day that he had met the survivor's family and assured them a fair probe in the matter.

Earlier on Monday, after the survivor had approached Minister of State for Home Deepak Kesarkar, he had allegedly made some inappropriate comments to her. She later lodged a written complaint against him at Marine Drive police station.
