Pune, 18th May 2023: Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Maharashtra state president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), addressed arrested DRDO lab director Pradeep Kurulkar’s association with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stating that the actions of an individual cannot be attributed to an entire family or ideology.
During a press conference held at the BJP state executive committee meeting, Bawankule expressed his opinion on the matter. He emphasized the need to wait for the ongoing investigation before making any definitive statements.

He stressed the importance of holding individuals accountable for their actions, while not attributing blame to the entire family.
