This Pune hooch tragedy is honestly very disturbing,because 16 people losing their lives is not some small administrative failure ah . And now Supriya Sule has directly demanded that Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar should be sent on immediate compulsory leave.
Sule,who is Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)-Samajwadi Party (SP) Working President and Member of Parliament,spoke strongly after protests started over incident . Her point is simple but uncomfortable: if such tragedy happens in city,then police leadership cannot just continue like nothing happened .
During press briefing,she referred to Union Ministry of Home Affairs report and said Pune has become city with highest crime rate in Maharashtra and fifth nationally . That is not small ranking to ignore,especially for city which many people still see as safe,educated and fairly calm.
She also said,"The law and order situation in Pune has completely collapsed," and that line is now becoming main political flashpoint . Because when opposition MP says this after 16 deaths,it naturally puts pressure on government and police both .
Few things standing out from her remarks:
- Supriya Sule demanded immediate compulsory leave of Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar.
- She said Pune ranks first in Maharashtra for crime and fifth in India.
- She urged government to act against rising crime and failures in public safety.
And tbh,this is where whole issue becomes bigger than one tragedy only . Sule said she has faith in Chief Minister and even mentioned that prompt action was taken earlier in cases like Nasrapur case. But at same time,she questioned why present situation is looking so weak.
She also alleged that crimes are happening under veil of corruption and extortion . That is serious charge,because it suggests this is not just about one hooch network or one policing lapse,but something deeper inside system .
Then Sule shifted toward politics and targeted Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) too . She pointed out that many BJP leaders are former Congress members and questioned how genuine this whole "Congress-mukt Bharat" claim really is .
But beyond political taunts,main question is still sitting there . If Pune is really seeing this kind of crime rise,and 16 people can die in hooch tragedy,then who exactly takes responsibility now…
