After sending a legal notice to MNS chief Raj Thackeray, former Union Law Minister Ram Jethmalani has sent a complaint to the police seeking a case be filed against Thackeray over his statements. 
Jethmalani had sent a legal notice to Thackeray over the MNS leader's statements calling him the lawyer of 2001 Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. 
The noted lawyer wrote to the Senior Police Inspector of Shivaji Park seeking that a complaint be filed against Thackeray under Section 505 of the Indian Penal Code for making statements conducing to public mischief. 
"Amongst other statements, one mischievous statement which he has been repeatedly making is that I am the lawyer who defended Afzal Guru," Jethmalani has written in his complaint.
"It is intended to seek a cheap electoral advantage and cause misunderstanding about my professional activities and choice of clients," he has stated in the application.
Jethmalani also said the statements could induce some angry persons to disrupt public order and Thackeray was attempting to incite hate and illwill among different communities. 
"We have received the complaint but have forwarded it to the Kherwadi police station for further investigation. No case has been registered so far," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone V) Milind Bharambe told PTI.
