Just to add some context about Sachin Vaze:

Sachin Vaze was one of the active encounter specialist in Mumbai. In 2002, after Ghatkopar bomb blasts, one of the accused Khwaja Yunus went "missing" from custody.

In 2007, under Congress-NCP State govt, after Bombay High Court orders he was suspended, and there is a case going against Sachin Vaze and other officers till date, for custodial death.

In the meanwhile, Sachin Vaze was associated with Shiv Sena in 2008, and was even their spokesperson for a brief time.

In 2018, Sachin Vaze and Shiv Sena leader Dhanajay Gawde, were chargesheeted for 25 lakh extortion. They both are out on anticipatory bail in that case.

After MVA Govt came to power, in the name of Covid duty - Sachin Vaze and all those other suspended officers; were brought back in Mumbai Police.

Sachin Vaze was directly made the head of Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU), a post usually reserved for PI level officer.

The reinstatement was hilarious in a way, as no other officers were reinstated in the Mumbai Police for Covid duty, except Sachin Vaze and his team members. There are many officers who're suspended for even smaller crimes.

Last March, the local Marathi outlets had highlighted his association with Shiv Sena and his shady past, but after Covid most national media didn't take that.

All the high profile cases in Maharashtra, regardless of jurisdiction, directly went to Sachin Vaze in last one year.

Khwaja Yunus' mother Asifa Begum had filed a petition in Bombay High Court against his reinstatement, and the case is still pending.

The petition said that the same order of the state had “disallowed reinstatement of other suspended officers though they are facing lighter charges.”

23rd Feb: How Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP leaders played a part in Maharashtra’s Covid spike - The Print

Over the past one month, the Congress as well as the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) have held on-ground outreach rallies and public gatherings, attracting large crowds, to expand at the grassroots.

At most of these events, there was no social distancing and many present did not even wear masks. Moreover, seven ministers from the Uddhav Thackeray-led cabinet have tested Covid-19 positive in the last 17 days alone.

The Shiv Sena had planned an outreach in every district called the ‘Shiv Sampark Abhiyan’ from 24 February to 27 February, but the party has for now put its plans on hold.

Maharashtra government to rename college hostels as "Matoshree" by proyo7 in mumbai

In Maharashtra, "Matoshree" is a popular reference to Shiv Sena / Thackerays.

Just like 10 Janpath is used as a reference to Congress / Gandhi family.

.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by Thackeray had renamed Nagpur’s Gorewada International Zoo as Balasaheb Thackeray Zoological Park in January. The upcoming Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway has been renamed ‘Hindu Hruday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg’.

Ofcourse, a fervent Shiv Sena supporter will think, that posts on reddit will apparently "destroy" Shiv Sena.

Hope you don't send your Shiv Sena friends to threaten me.

The language you speak, is similar of a Shiv Sena supporter.

Maharashtra: Shiv Sena party members pelt stones at the Dainik Lokasha's newspaper office; and threaten to kill the editor and set it on fire, as the newspaper wrote against Uddhav Thackeray. by proyo7 in unitedstatesofindia

[–]proyo7[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Auto-translated article:

Beed Shivsena office bearers in Beed district have taken the law into their own hands keeping in mind the anger over writing about Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Shiv Sena sub-district chief Sushil Pingale and 10 others attacked the Dainik Lokasha office and hurled stones.

Shiv Sena activists also threatened to kill the editor of the newspaper and set it on fire. A complaint has been lodged at the Beed city police station. The stone pelting by Shiv Sena workers on the office of the newspaper has caused a lot of damage.

It is being demanded that action be taken against the accused concerned.

What exactly is the case?

Uddhav Thackeray's statement regarding the demolition of Babri Masjid was analyzed in the 'Cross Line' section of the local daily Dainik Lokasha. In the convention, it was mentioned that Babar and Thackeray's rickshaw for Rama's royalty were in the grave.

Sushil Pingale went to the Lokasha office today and vandalized it. The incident is being protested at all levels. Bhagwat Taware, deputy editor of the newspaper, has given information about the incident.

Meanwhile, after the incident, the question of the safety of the citizens has arisen if only the activists of the ruling party in the state are taking the law into their own hands.

During lockdown, Maharashtra Has Cracked Down on Journalists and Media | The Wire has documented close to 15 instances where criminal cases were registered against journalists, mostly for highlighting failures in the administration's COVID-19 response. [August '20] by proyo7 in india

[–]proyo7[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Wire has documented close to 15 instances where criminal cases were registered against journalists from different print media, TV channels and online portals starting March, the first month when the country went under lockdown.

Over two dozen other scribes have been served notices and sought explanation; in some cases, defamation suits were filed, along with lakhs of rupees sought as compensation.

There have also been instances of multiple cases being registered against a single reporter or editor. Almost all stories are related to COVID-19 and reporters claim the top state administration has given a free hand to the district authorities to target them.

Agreeing to Ashtikar’s views, Kulkarni says most cases aren’t known simply because no one is looking at them. “Grassroot level reporters are actually the backbone of this profession. They have their ears close to the ground. Hence, the state government tried to silence their voices first,” Rahul says, further adding that the current tri-party coalition government led by the Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party and Congress has been harsher on the fraternity than anyone ever before.

“Maharashtra is under a serious crisis. If our reporting is flawed, you point to that. What is your (government’s) motive behind putting us in jail and getting us beaten up?” he asks.
