The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has sought a factual report from the Maharashtra government after Independent Lok Sabha member Navneet Rana alleged in a letter to Speaker Om Birla that she was discriminated and not provided water at Mumbai’s Khar police station as she belonged to a Scheduled Caste.
On Tuesday, Mumbai police commissioner Sanjay Pandey on Twitter released a 12-second video grab, reportedly of the police station where the Rana couple are seen sitting and sipping a hot beverage. “Do we say anything more,” Mr. Pandey said while sharing the video clip on Twitter.
The Amaravati MP was arrested on April 23 along with her husband MLA, Ravi Rana, for giving a call to recite the Hanuman Chalisa outside Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s private residence ‘Matoshree’ in Mumbai. They are presently in jail.
