A structural expert was taken into custody on friday about the earlier this week fall of a Chhatrapati shivaji Maharaj statue in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra. Early in the morning, the Kolhapur crime branch and the Malvan police collaborated to detain chetan Patil, a Kolhapur resident. After that, he was placed under the custody of Malvan police.
 
Named in the case's FIR, Patil had previously denied serving as the project's structural consultant. He asserted that the construction of the statue itself was left to a Thane-based business and that his only assignment was to work on the platform.

Monday, august 26, at about 1 p.m., the 35-foot statue of the maratha warrior ruler from the 17th century at rajkot fort in Sindhudurg's Malvan toppled. This happened less than nine months after prime minister Narendra Modi unveiled it.
 
The statue's collapse set up a political firestorm in maharashtra, which is about to go to polls. The state administration established a technical committee to investigate the cause of the statue's toppling. The administration led by Eknath Shinde further said that the indian Navy was in charge of the project.
 
The Navy claimed that, in cooperation with the state government that supplied financing, it conceptualized and oversaw the shivaji monument installation project. The Navy stated in a statement that it is still dedicated to helping in every way possible to restore, repair, and put the monument back in place as soon as possible.
 
Ajit Pawar, the deputy chief minister, and other members of the ruling nationalist congress party (NCP) also held silent protests around maharashtra in response to the event.
 
Chief minister Eknath Shinde declared that he was prepared to place his head on the feet of the maratha warrior and offer a hundred times of apology for the statue's fall. In addition, he urged the opposing parties to refrain from "playing politics" on this issue.
