The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Monday approached the Bombay High court, requesting it to close a case against Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Nitesh Rane, who is also the son of Congress leader Narayan Rane. Nitesh Rane has been accused of firing at Shamim Chintu Shaikh, a member of his Swabhimaan Sanghatana. The High Court, however, asked CBI to first make Shaikh a respondent in the case.

Nitesh Rane is accused of firing at Shaikh in 2010
