Independent MLA Ravi Rana alleged the case against him of throwing ink on Amravati Municipal Commissioner was filed at the instance of the Maharashtra chief minister and the home minister.
Independent MLA from Amravati Ravi Rana on Monday alleged that Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil pressurized the police to file a false case against him of throwing ink on Amravati Municipal Commissioner.
"I was not even present in Amravati during a program where some workers threw ink on the face of Amravati Municipal Commissioner for allegedly removing Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue," said Mr Rana during the Question-Answer session in Maharashtra Assembly.
Mr Rana, who was supported by BJP MLAs, created a ruckus in the assembly and said, "The Chief Minister and Home Minister pressurized the Amravati Commissioner of Police to file a case against me."
"At midnight around 150 police officials reached my residence and searched my home that day. I want justice," he said.
