Man with criminal record expelled from Maharashtra district over posts on deputy CM’s wife Amruta Fadnavis

A man with prior criminal history who had made an offensive post against Amruta Fadnavis, the wife of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis was externed for a period of one year from Chandrapur district.

Khemdev Garpalliwar is a resident of Gondpimpri in Chandrapur district and his wife is a corporator. Garpalliwar who has multiple cases filed against him including cheating and intimidation had earlier put out a post where he had criticised Amruta Fadnavis over a statement made by her in June 2022 where she had stated that Government needs to recognise sex work as a profession. Garpalliwars post on social media against Fadnavis had led to a case being filed against him by BJP workers.

The Chandrapur Police this month initiated externment proceedings against him and externed him from the district for a period of one year. The Chandrapur Police also issued a press release announcing Garpalliwar’s externment which stated that “Man who put out objectionable post against Amruta Fadnavis externed from district”
