FIR Filed Against Narayan Rane For 'Slapping Thackeray' Remark: Maharashtra

Maharashtra's Pune police on August 24 registered an FIR against Union Minister Narayan Rane for saying he ''would have given a tight slap'' to CM Uddhav Thackeray for forgetting ''the year of independence''. Rane made the remark against Thackeray while addressing a Jan Ashirvad Yatra of the BJP in Raigad on August 23. In reaction to Rane's jibe, Shiv Sena workers called him a ''Kombdi chor'' (chicken stealer).
