BJP leader Kirit Somaiya's wife Professor Dr Medha Kirit Somaiya have filed a complaint against Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut stating that he made malicious statements against her in the media. Dr Medha visited Navghar Police Station in Mulund East to submit her complaint against Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut for alleged use of defamatory statements against her and her family.


"I state that the accused Sanjay Raut is Executive Editor of Marathi Newspaper "SAAMNA" and is also the chief spokesman of Shivsena, a political party. I say that the accused around 16th April, 2022 and thereafter made malicious and unwarranted mischievous statements against me in the media, the same which was printed, published and circulated to the general public at large through electronic and print media. The said malicious statements were also viral on social media platforms," she said in her complaint.

"The said statements made by the accused Mr. Sanjay Raut and the same which I came across are: Dr Medha Somaiya and Yuvak Pratishan are indulged into Rs 100 Crore toilet scam.
