Hanuman Chalisa Row: MP Navneet Kaur, MLA Ravi Rana sent in 14-day judicial custody - The MP-MLA couple got embroiled in a controversy after planning to recite Hanuman Chalisa after Maharashtra CM Thackeray’s house.
On Friday, Ravi Rana had said he would visit Matoshree on Saturday. But, as his announcement drew a strong reaction from Shiv Sena cadres, on Saturday morning he announced that he and his wife were cancelling their plan so as not to create any law and order situation ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Mumbai on Sunday.
