Three individuals have been taken into custody following an incident outside the residence of Maharashtra minister Sanjay Shirsat. The disturbance led the minister to publicly accuse the city's Police Commissioner of neglecting official responsibilities in favour of personal career advancement.

The arrests occurred after the three men were reportedly involved in creating a ruckus outside Mr. Shirsat's home. Eyewitness accounts suggest the individuals were in an inebriated state when they allegedly broke bottles and engaged in arguments with the security guards stationed at the minister's residence. The precise motivations behind the disturbance have not been detailed in the immediate aftermath of the arrests.

In response to the incident, Minister Shirsat articulated serious allegations against the city's top police official. He contended that the Police Commissioner is primarily concerned with securing a new posting rather than diligently fulfilling current duties related to maintaining law and order. The minister's remarks underscored a perceived lapse in the police force's responsiveness and commitment to public safety.

The accusations highlight a growing tension between political figures and law enforcement leadership in the region. Mr. Shirsat's public statement, questioning the Police Commissioner's priorities, suggests a call for greater accountability within the city's police administration. Further details regarding the investigation into the disturbance and the minister's allegations are anticipated as the situation develops.
