A Mumbai resident filed a petition in the Bombay High Court seeking action against Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde and BJP leader Nitesh Rane for alleged anti-Muslim remarks. The plea calls for halting live broadcasts of Rane’s rallies, prosecuting him and Shinde for hate speech, and ensuring police accountability.
A Mumbai magistrate court issued a non-bailable warrant against BJP MLA Nitesh Rane after he repeatedly failed to appear in a defamation case filed by Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut. The case originated from Rane’s alleged defamation of Raut in May 2022. Despite previous warrants and penalties, Rane’s absence led to the recent warrant issuance.
