Sena (UBT) leaders claim that Thackeray, his wife Rashmi, and sons Aaditya and Tejas have been deprived of their escort vehicles and pilot cars. Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders said that the security measures previously enjoyed by the Sena (UBT) chairman and his family had been decreased on Wednesday by the Shinde-Fadnavis government in a kerfuffle over Uddhav Thackeray’s security protection. Officials from the home department claim that nothing has changed and that the only things that have changed are the extra arrangements that were made in addition to the security category.
Sena (UBT) leaders claim that Thackeray, his wife Rashmi, and sons Aaditya and Tejas have been deprived of their escort vehicles and pilot cars. The Thackeray villa, Matoshree, was located in Kalanagar society, which also housed the gunmen in the bunker. The number of security guards at his home decreased from 12 to 5.
Vinayak Raut, an MP for the Thackeray faction, condemned the Shinde-Fadnavis administration for the act on Wednesday. Even Congress regimes never decreased the Thackeray family’s security, he claimed. “But the Shinde-Fadnavis administration did it even as it gave protection to former corporate executives and local Thane leaders. Simply playing cheap politics here.
Uddhav Thackeray continues to receive Z-plus protection, according to home department sources, and the family’s security status has not altered. An official stated, “Their category remains the same.” “They received more security during the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi administration than what was required for their category. Only those additional security measures have been discontinued.
There was no security cut, according to the Mumbai police as well. According to a statement from the Mumbai police, “…there is no withdrawal or downgrading in the scale of security of any categorised protected person residing within the jurisdictional limit of the Mumbai police.”
