Hanuman Chalisa row | Court seeks Mumbai police’s response to bail plea of Ranas

Hanuman Chalisa Ranas Mumbai Police Navneet Kaur Rana Ravi Rana

The City Civil and Sessions Court on Tuesday directed the Mumbai police to file its reply to the bail plea filed by independent MP Navneet Kaur Rana and her husband, MLA Ravi Rana, in the Hanuman Chalisa row.

The Ranas were arrested on April 23 for declaring that they would recite Hanuman Chalisa outside the residence of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. They withdrew the plan because of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit and were on April 24 sent to judicial custody by a magistrate court for 14 days.

Special judge R.N. Rokade directed the Mumbai police to file its reply on or before April 29.
