Mumbai. The controversy has deepened in Maharashtra over an audio clip allegedly relating to the payment of Rs 500 crore to activist Manoj Jarange, who is associated with the Maratha reservation movement. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a forensic examination of the clip. The government will try to determine whether the audio is genuine or has been tampered with.
The alleged audio clip circulating on social media claims that there was talk of giving Rs 500 crore to Jarange to stop the Maratha reservation movement. After this claim surfaced, political activity in Maharashtra has intensified. However, the authenticity of the clip and the claims made in it have not yet been confirmed.
