Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, November 13, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Three youths have been arrested after allegedly creating a disturbance and hurling liquor bottles towards the residence of Maharashtra Social Justice Minister and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Guardian Minister Sanjay Shirsat late Thursday night.
The incident occurred between 10.30 pm and 11 pm near Shirsat’s bungalow in the Golwadi area. According to the minister, the three youths appeared to be heavily intoxicated and were creating a commotion near the residence.
When security personnel intervened, the youths allegedly smashed liquor bottles and threw them towards the bungalow. Shirsat said the incident was captured on CCTV footage.
In a video statement released around midnight, the minister claimed that the youths initially fell from their vehicle and left the spot before returning to the main gate. He alleged that they tried to intimidate the security staff by claiming to have several Officers on Special Duty (OSDs) at their disposal.
Satara Police arrested all three suspects and began questioning them. The process of registering a formal FIR was reportedly underway late Thursday night.
Shirsat clarified that no police personnel had suffered serious injuries. However, one of his party workers sustained a nail scratch during the scuffle and was sent for medical treatment.
The minister expressed dissatisfaction with the local police administration, alleging that the Police Commissioner did not answer his call after the incident. He said Maharashtra Director General of Police responded and assured him that the matter would be investigated.
Questioning the city’s law-and-order situation, Shirsat alleged that murders and illegal drug sales were continuing unchecked. He demanded the immediate transfer of the Police Commissioner, claiming that the officer’s tenure had ended.
“If the house of a Guardian Minister is being attacked like this, what about the safety of ordinary citizens?” he asked, adding that he would raise the matter with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The minister is scheduled to address a press conference to provide further details about the incident and the functioning of the local police force.
