The police have arrested the sculptor in connection with the demolition of Chhatrapati Shivaji’s statue in Maharashtra. Even before this, the police have registered a case against many people regarding this incident. The special thing is that idol actor Jaideep Apte has been arrested by the police with the help of his wife. A few months after its inauguration on August 26, the idol collapsed. Police formed 7 teams to search for Apte. Apte was arrested outside his house on Wednesday. He came to meet his family. According to the report, the police said that Apte contacted the wife and said that he was returning home. After that the wife gave this information to the police. According to information from police sources, Apte’s family was worried and wanted Apte to return and help in the investigation. The Malvan police registered a case against Apte and structural consultant Chetan Patil for negligence and other offenses after the statue of Shivaji was toppled. Patil was arrested from Kolhapur last week. Reacting to the arrest of the accused in this incident, BJP leader Praveen Darkar said, ‘People who were criticizing our government should now shut their mouths. It is true that the police took some time to arrest Jaideep Apte. We are not taking credit for the arrest but the police have done their job.’ Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sushma Andha said, ‘The state government should not try to take credit for Apte’s arrest as this is the government’s duty. He was no ‘underworld don’. He should have been arrested earlier.’
