Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has claimed that BJP leader Kirit Somaiya and his son Neil Somaiya, ¿who committed a scam¿ under the pretext of saving the decommissioned aircraft carrier Vikrant, may escape from the country and hence, a lookout notice should be issued against them.

Talking to reporters, Raut also claimed that the father-son duo was outside Mumbai and Maharashtra and engaged in a "setting" to ensure they get anticipatory bail in the matter. The Shiv Sena leader has been accusing Somaiyas of misappropriation of over Rs 57 crore collected in the name of saving the ship. The Mumbai Police last week registered a case of cheating against the Somaiyas based on a complaint lodged by a former Army personnel. However, the BJP leader has denied the allegations.
