Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed the Crime Investigation Department (CID) to seize the properties of the accused in the murder of Massajog Sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh. This move comes as the state government faces mounting criticism over the brutal killing of the sarpanch in Beed district earlier this month.

According to PTI reports, a senior official from the Home Department stated that Fadnavis has also instructed authorities to cancel the arms licences of individuals whose photos or videos showing them firing in the air or flaunting firearms have been circulating on social media. This directive highlights the government's crackdown on the growing trend of irresponsible weapon display in public spaces.
