Maharashtra Congress MLA Nitesh Rane has refuted allegations of extortion levelled against him by a restaurant owner in Mumbai.
This after a Juhu-based restaurateur lodged an FIR against Rane on Friday.
Speaking to the media at the Vidhan Bhawan, Nitesh rubbished the allegations as baseless. Nitesh said, "The restaurant in question is adjacent to my residence in Juhu. It keeps playing loud music till 4 in the morning, which is an obvious cause of inconvenience to the locals in the area. Locals had approached my father Narayan Rane with this complaint. He wrote a letter to the BMC Commissioner in April and also asked Mumbai Police Commissioner to take action but nothing happened."
NO ACTION AGAINST RESTAURANT: NITESH RANE
Nitesh added that he too followed up the matter with the Police Commissioner's office but no action was taken against the restaurant.
"I have neither taken money from the restaurant owner nor gone there to threaten anyone. I have asked cops to check the CDR (call data records) which will bring the truth out in the open."
Nitesh feels it is a conspiracy to defame his name. He is mulling taking legal action against the restaurateur.
