Hanuman Chalisa Row: Relief for Ranas as court orders release on bail

Mumbai, 4/5: A Sessions Court on Wednesday granted bail to Amravati MP Navneet Kaur Rana and her husband and three-time Badnera MLA Ravi Rana in a sedition case.

 

The Mumbai police had arrested the couple on April 23 following their statement that they would recite ‘Hanuman Chalisa’ outside Maharashtra chief minister and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray’s private residence, ‘Matoshree’ in Bandra.

 

Their announcement triggered angry protests by Shiv Sena workers who gathered outside the couple’s residence.

 

The Metropolitan Magistrate Court had on April 24 sent them to judicial custody for 14 days.
