The Bombay High Court on Thursday transferred the probe into allegation of attack against Nitesh Rane, chief of NGO Swabhiman Sanghatana and son of Maharashtra Industries Minister Narayan Rane, to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
A Division Bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and A R Joshi passed the order on Thursday, granting the prayer made by Chintu Shaikh, the petitioner, who had alleged that Nitesh shot at him at Swabhiman's office in Mumbai last September.
