BJP MLA Nitesh Rane, son of Union minister Narayan Rane, approached the Bombay High Court seeking pre-arrest bail in an alleged attempt to murder case registered against him in Sindhudurg district in Maharashtra.

The sessions court in the Sindhudurg district had last week rejected the anticipatory bail plea of the Kankavli MLA. Nitesh Rane's advocate Sangram Desai said that the MLA's application in the high court is likely to be heard by a single-judge bench of Justice CV Bhadang on January 4.
