Amid the ongoing political crisis in Maharashtra, Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Sunday wrote to state DGP Rajnish Seth and Mumbai Police Commissioner Sanjay Pandey, directing them to provide security cover to all the rebel MLAs and their families. According to Koshyari, 38 Shiv Sena MLAs, among others, have claimed that security cover of their families has been "illegally withdrawn".
