Mumbai Latest News Updates Live: BJP State president Chandrakant Patil Wednesday said that Union Minister Narayan Rane was given inhuman treatment after his arrest despite the fact that his blood pressure and blood sugar level had shot up beyond 500 mg/dl. He termed Rane’s arrest a political vendetta.
“The Union Minister was given inhuman treatment after his arrest. He was not allowed to even have his afternoon meal…His blood sugar level and blood pressure had shot up beyond 500, yet no medical treatment was provided to him,” said Patil in Pune on Wednesday.
In an embarrassment to the Shiv Sena amid the high-voltage showdown with Union minister Narayan Rane, a video clip of Transport Minister Anil Parab shows him ordering police officers to arrest Rane without delay.
Union Minister and BJP Rajya Sabha member Narayan Rane was arrested Tuesday by Maharashtra Police for threatening to “slap” Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. He was released on bail in Mahad in Raigad, nearly nine hours after his arrest, but district officials said there were four other FIRs against him in the state.
Meanwhile, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has introduced a mobile application — MSRTC Commuters App — which shows commuters the live location of buses plying on the roads. The technology uses a ‘Vehicle Tracking System’ (VTS) which has already been installed for internal use in all of MSRTC’s 18,000 buses, said an official.
