" opposition can even bring Interpol or followers of Namaste Trump into inquiry. Devendra Fnavis should understand that it is same police whom he has worked with  last five years. It is same police that has given so many sacrifices during fight with Corona. I would like to condemn those who are raising questions about efficiency of police. Mumbai police is t inefficient. If anyone has any proof about case y can bring it to us and we will interrogate and punish guilty. However, please don't use this case as an excuse to create friction between two states of Maharashtra and Bihar. Anyone who is bringing politics in case is really most deplorable thing to do", said CM Uddhav Thackeray.
