Mumbai, Apr 15 (UNI) The Bombay High Court on Monday asked the State Advocate General of Maharashtra government to go through alleged hate speeches delivered by MLAs Nitish Rane, Geeta Jain and Legislator T Raja during violence at Mira Road in January and determine whether action needs to be taken against them.
A bench of Justices Revati Mohite-Dere and Manjusha Deshpande was hearing a writ petition filed by resident of Mira Road seeking action against BJP MLAs Nitesh Rane, Geeta Jain (Maharashtra) and T Raja (Telangana) for allegedly delivering hate speeches and inciting violence, which erupted in January in Naya Nagar, Mira Road.
During the hearing last week, the bench had directed police commissioners of Mumbai and Mira-Bhayander to personally review recordings and transcripts of alleged hate speeches and inform the court if an FIR will be registered by the police itself.
