BJP leader and Union Minister Narayan Rane was discharged by a court in Raigad on Saturday in connection with a case filed against him last year for allegedly making objectionable remarks against then Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray.

A case was registered against him under sections sections 189 (threatening to cause harm to public servant), 504 (intentional insult to provoke breach of the peace) and 505 (statement relating to mischief in public) of the Indian Penal Code.

Rane was arrested on August 24, 2021, and later granted bail by the Mahad magistrate court. He had stoked a controversy after his August 23, 2021 statement in Raigad that he would have slapped Thackeray for “not knowing how many years it has been since India gained Independence”.
