‘Badla Pura’: Gun-Toting Devendra Fadnavis Features On Posters Following Death Of Badlapur Sexual Assault Accused

New Delhi: Posters featuring Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis holding a gun emerged in Mumbai and surrounding cities on Wednesday (September 25), two days after the death of Akshay Shinde, the accused in the Badlapur school sexual assault case. The posters read ‘Badla Pura’ (The revenge is complete). Fadnavis can be seen brandishing a pistol as well as a rifle in what is most likely to be doctored images on these posters.

The posters looked like apparent attempts to link and credit the deputy CM for the death of the accused in a police encounter. There was immense public anger against Shinde, who was accused of sexually assaulting two four-year-old girls in the toilet of a school in Badlapur, The Free Press Journal reported.
