Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan was spotted with a revolver tucked under his belt at an event for children
A minister in Maharashtra has come under criticism after he was spotted with a revolver tucked under his belt at an event organized for children with speech and hearing impairment.
The event was held on Saturday in Jalgaon where Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan from the BJP addressed children after distributing educational material. The district superintendent of police was also present at the function.
"The minister should know what sort of example he is setting for children to emulate with his brazen display of a weapon. Does he not believe in police and security provided to him by the government?" Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde said.
Mr Mahajan has a weapons licence.
