"Sanjay Raut keeps alleging about scams. He must give proof. Making allegations and attacking someone's image is not good. We cannot say someone is guilty or innocent without evidence," he told reporters in Mumbai.
Refuting talk from some opposition leaders that transfers were taking place in a corrupt manner under the Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis government, Shirsat claimed the "transfers under this government were the most transparent".
Talking about a security rejig at Matoshree, the private residence of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, he said these details are decided by a committee of the state home department.
"Security is not decided by the state government," he claimed, as per the PTI.

The former chief minister is accorded Z-plus security while Aaditya Thackeray gets Z security. Rashmi Thackeray and (Aaditya's younger brother) Tejas get Y-plus escort security, the official release said.
However, the SRPF and "extra police deployment" outside the Thackeray residence have been removed, a police official had told the PTI.
