In a defamation case brought by Mumbai-based Shiv Sena  (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, BJP MLA Nitesh Rane has been marked with a bailable warrant. Since Rane did not show up, the court issued the warrant and scheduled the next hearing for December 15.

According to the report by news agency ANI, the Mazgaon Metropolitan Magistrate Court issued the warrant of Rs 15,000 after Rane did not pay heed to the court's summons to the MLA directing him to appear before it.
