Maharashtra Congress's Ashok Chavan Says He Is Being Spied On

Ashok Chavan claimed some unknown persons made changes to the content in official letters he had written as state PWD minister (between 2019 and June 2022 under Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray).

Former Maharashtra chief minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan on Monday said "some private and contractual persons" were spying on him and attempts were also being made to defame him or someone through forgery of his official letters.

Mr Chavan said all these attempts may be part of a conspiracy to harm him and the police must register an offence.

Maharashtra Chief Minister, speaking to reporters in Pune later in the day, said he had spoken to Mr Chavan and assured him of a thorough probe.

"Some private and contractual persons are spying on me. It has appeared a person is collecting details of my meetings, travel plans etc. There is a possibility some conspiracy is being hatched against me to cause some harm. The police should take cognisance of it and take appropriate legal action," he tweeted.
