"Adequate security has been provided to Jarange-Patil," Desai informed Speaker Rahul Narvekar, who directed the government to provide security to the pro-Maratha reservation activist after the issue was raised by Leader of Opposition Vijay Wadettiwar.

"The government will ask the Jalna district police to look into the issue and submit its report," Desai told the assembly.

He said that the police squad has already visited Antarwali Sarathi but did not find any drone. The district police has presented its findings. However, he said another squad would visit the site again and confirm the alleged drone spying on Jarange-Patil.

The minister's statement assumes significance as Jarange-Patil have announced to launch a fresh protest demanding the government's early decision on Rishi Soyre, which is a Marathi word for relatives of the family. He has demanded that Sadhu Soyre should get benefits like Kunbi under OBC quota.
