Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) Member of Parliament (MP) Sanjay Raut on Sunday launched a sharp attack on the Maharashtra government over the Nasrapur rape and murder case, holding it responsible for the worsening law-and-order situation in the state, news agency ANI reported.

Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, Raut said criminals should “fear the law” and questioned Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over his visits to poll-bound states such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam, and West Bengal, alleging that he was neglecting pressing issues within Maharashtra.
