Mumbai Weather Forecast Live, Coronavirus Mumbai Live Updates: Two days after the Income Tax Department surveyed the premises of Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, the Shiv Sena came out in support of the Bollywood actor Friday and remarked that the department’s action began after Sood was appointed brand ambassador of the Delhi government’s ‘Desh ka Mentors’ programme. The editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana said the BJP had appreciated the aid extended by Sood to migrants who had been struggling to reach their hometowns when the pandemic broke out. The saffron party even questioned the MVA government asking why it was not able to do what Sood was doing.

Meanwhile, the Maharashtra government Friday extended its interim statement till September 30 that no coercive action will be taken against Union Minister and Rajya Sabha MP Narayan Rane, who challenged the FIR filed by the Nashik Cyber Police over his remark against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. After Rane’s counsel sought interim protection from court in the FIRs other than the one registered in Nashik, the HC suggested him to file separate petitions instead of one. The FIRs have been registered at Mahad, Thane, Pune, Jalgaon, Ahmednagar and other places.
