Over a hundred people have been arrested in connection with the brutal killing of two sadhus and a driver by a mob in the past days on suspicion of being a thief in Maharashtra's Palghar district. Meanwhile, in the Palghar lynching case, Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said that out of all those arrested in this case, not a single Muslim is there. State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said on Wednesday that not a single Muslim was among the 101 accused arrested and alleged that the opposition was trying to give it a communal color.

In his address via Facebook, he said that it is unfortunate that communal politics is taking place on the Palghar case. Without naming, he said that some people are dreaming of Mungeri Lal. This is not the time to do politics, but to fight the corona virus together.

He said that a special IG level officer of the CID is investigating the case. But I would like to say that the police arrested 101 people within 8 hours of the crime. We are releasing the names of the accused through WhatsApp today, there is no Muslim in that list.

State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh gave this information on Sunday. Deshmukh has also warned not to give any communal color to this incident as two people are being described as sadhus among the three dead.

Deshmukh had tweeted, 'Police have detained 101 people involved in the murder of three people going to Surat in Palghar. I have ordered a high-level inquiry into the murder. ' Deshmukh said that the police is keeping a close watch on such people, who want to create disharmony in the society through this incident. Deshmukh said, "The people who were killed and attacked in the Palghar incident were not from different religions."
