Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Monday claimed that central probe agencies were "given targets" and they were working in a vindictive manner against leaders of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra.

Talking to reporters in New Delhi a day after Mumbai police recorded BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis's statement in a case of alleged illegal phone tapping, Raut said leaders of the MVA (comprising the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress) had also received notices from central agencies, but they did not stage dramas.
