Beed, March 5: The law and order situation in Maharashtra has once again come under scrutiny following the circulation of a disturbing video from Shirur, Beed district. The footage, which has gone viral on social media, reportedly shows a group of individuals torturing a man with a bat, sparking widespread outrage and raising serious concerns about public safety.
While official details are still emerging, the video indicates that the victim was subjected to extreme brutality. Local residents and political leaders have condemned the act and are demanding swift action against the perpetrators. Many are questioning how such a gruesome incident could occur in broad daylight without immediate intervention, and opposition parties have alleged that this is indicative of a broader failure in law enforcement across Maharashtra.
In a separate, recent case, the brutal murder of Santosh Deshmukh has also raised alarms about the effectiveness of state security. Although the investigation into Deshmukh’s murder is ongoing, this incident further underscores the growing public concern over deteriorating law and order.
Responding to the public outcry regarding the viral video, a senior police official stated, “We are examining the video and will take strict action against those involved. No one will be spared.” Authorities are also investigating whether the attack was driven by a personal dispute or linked to a larger criminal network.
As both incidents continue to provoke debate, citizens are calling for stronger policing measures to prevent such brutal crimes and to restore public confidence in Maharashtra’s security apparatus.
