Mumbai : Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said stern action will be taken against those involved in the lynching of three men in Palghar district.
The state government has ordered a high-level inquiry into the incident that took place on April 16.
“The Palghar incident has been acted upon. The police has arrested all those accused who attacked the 2 sadhus, 1 driver and the police personnel, on the day of the crime itself,” Thackeray tweeted late Sunday night.
“Nobody guilty in this heinous crime and shameful act will be spared and they will be brought to justice in the strongest way possible,” he added.
State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said a high-level inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
He warned against giving any communal colour to the incident, as two of the three deceased were believed to be seers.
