Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today returned after a week-long official tour of the US, to which he led a delegation to attract investments in the state.

Fadnavis left for US on June 29.

A controversy had erupted during his tour following reports that the Air India flight in which he was travelling to New York had to be delayed as Principal Secretary in Chief Ministers' Office Pravin Pardeshi had forgotten his visa.
