Rane discharged in case over 'would've slapped Uddhav' remark

A magistrate's court in Maharashtra's Raigad discharged Union Minister Narayan Rane in a case filed over his remark against former state CM Uddhav Thackeray in 2021. BJP's Rane claimed Thackeray forgot the year of independence during his August 15 speech, and added, "Had I been there, I would've given a tight slap." Rane was arrested too and later got bail.
