I will go to Khar PS to meet Ravi Rana & Navneet Rana, let's see who stops me. Those who were protesting at Navneet Rana's place today are not Shiv Sainiks, they are goons. The end of this govt has come, people here will expose the scam: BJP leader Kirit Somaiya, in Mumbai

FIR filed against Ravi Rana & Navneet Rana u/s 153A, 35, 37, 135 of Bombay Police Act. They've been arrested; offense is bailable,but my clients say the arrest is illegal &unconstitutional as both of them are public servants- MP &MLA: Rizwan Merchant, lawyer of Ravi &Navneet Rana
The Speaker's permission should've been taken before arresting them, but no permission was taken. As per Supreme Court, notice of section 41A should be given within 14 days prior to the institution of case, which wasn't given: Rizwan Merchant, lawyer of Ravi & Navneet Rana
Both of them were locked inside their house, honouring section 149 notice. So, the arrest is absolutely illegal. As per my instruction to my client, a complaint has been registered against those who tried to attack outside their residence: Rizwan Merchant, lawyer
