Raj Thackeray criticises CM Fadnavis over rise in child abduction cases in Maharashtra

Key Highlights

• Criticising the government over no action against the gang, Mr Thackeray asked, “Why is there no clear strategy to curb such crimes?” He also suggested prioritising the discussions on child abductions, missing girls, and other public safety issues in the legislative assembly and conducting a DNA test if needed to identify the children seen begging in public areas.
• In response, Mr Fadnavis said, “I have already given statistics and reasons for the disappearance of girls or boys.
• Also mentioned the numbers on children returned.” However, Mr Fadnaivis did not read the letter of Mr Thackeray, saying, “If they have any doubts, I will definitely answer them.” “The important point is that even if a girl leaves home due to a fight and returns after three days, we file a missing person complaint.
• That is why we see a high number of such complaints.
• Our estimate is that if we consider a year, we bring back more than 90%,” he added.
