Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday wrote to the police alleging threat to life from Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shindes son, with an MLA from the ruling party calling it a cheap stunt...

Responding to Mr. Raut's letter to the police, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who also handles the home portfolio, said the Rajya Sabha MP has a habit of making thoughtless allegations, but nevertheless the missive will be sent to the authorities concerned for a review...

Lok Sabha member Shrikant Shinde (Eknath Shindes son) has given a 'supari' (contract) to kill me to a Thane-based criminal Raja Thakur..

The Sena (UBT) leader made the allegations in the letter to the Mumbai police commissioner, copies of which were also sent to Fadnavis and the Thane city police.. Responding to a question related to Mr. Rauts letter, Aaditya Thackeray, MLA and son of ex-CM Uddhav Thackeray said, The complaint should be taken seriously..

I believe Dr Shrikant Shinde (Lok Sabha MP from Kalyan in Thane district) would never ever do such a thing, still a probe can be initiated, he said.. Asked about the letter, Mr. Fadnavis said, Mr. Raut has been making mindless allegations and it makes us wonder what response we can give..
