Fadnavis condemned the incident in strong terms, stressing the seriousness of the assault. "The incident of rape in Badlapur is very serious, and I strongly condemn it. The state government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under the leadership of a woman officer of IG rank to thoroughly investigate the case," he said.

Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra and BJP leader, Devendra Fadnavis, dismissed Sharad Pawar's criticisms of PM Narendra Modi as attempts to undermine Modi's leadership.
