Mumbai Court Cancels Warrant Against Minister Nitesh Rane
A court in Mumbai has stopped a warrant that was issued for Minister Nitesh Rane.
The warrant was related to a case where Sanjay Raut, from Shiv Sena (UBT), claimed Rane had said bad things about him.
The court previously issued the warrant because Rane had missed court dates.
Now, the court has said the warrant is cancelled as long as Rane shows up in court and responds to the accusations.
Mumbai court quashed a non-bailable warrant against Minister Nitesh Rane.
