Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has written to the Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP) demanding "immediate withdrawal of vehicles procured under Nirbhaya fund" after several media reports alleged that several vehicles procured by the Mumbai Police to be used for fighting crimes against women, were instead being used as escort vehicles for legislators of the ruling Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction.

"NCP demands the immediate withdrawal of the said vehicles deployed for MLAs' security and to be sent back to the Nirbhaya Squad," the letter said.
