Mumbai: Sessions Court denies relief to Narayan Rane

Narayan Rane

A sessions court yesterday rejected an application filed by former Maharashtra chief minister Narayan Rane and two others, opposing invocation of the SC-ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against them in a case of alleged abduction of an MLA in 2002.

Former NCP MLA Padmakar Valvi had lodged a complaint against Rane, former MLA Bala Nandgaonkar and Ravi Shendge. Valvi alleged that Sena leaders abducted him in June 2002 in a bid to topple the Vilasrao Deshmukh-led Democratic Front government in Maharashtra which was facing a trust vote.
