Attempt being made to portray Maharashtra as drug capital: Uddhav amid Aryan Khan drug probe

Stating that there was an attempt to defame Maharashtra, chief minister Uddhav Thackeray rained the gun at the Narcotic Control Bureau without taking its name.

Thackeray in his Dusshera speech said that while the central agency is recovering a little quantity of drugs, the Maharashtra police have recovered drugs worth ₹150 crore.

The Shiv Sena leader said all they are interested in is to catch celebrities, get their pictures clicked and make some noise.
