Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday wrote to Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari, advising him to write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah to call for a special session of Parliament on women’s safety in the country.
Mr. Thackeray was replying to Mr. Koshyari’s letter supporting the Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) demand to call for a special session on women’s safety in the State in the wake of the Saki Naka rape case in Mumbai. Mr. Thackeray, in a detailed letter to the Governor, listed out cases of atrocities against women in States like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Gujarat.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
