Shiv Sena MLA Vaibhav Naik has approached police, seeking that a case be registered against former BJP legislator Pramod Jathar for allegedly comparing Union minister Narayan Rane with Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Maratha warrior king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Talking to PTI on Thursday, Naik said Jathar's comparion of Rane with Chhatapati Sambhaji Maharaj was "shocking" and hurt sentiments of lakhs of the latter's followers, including him.
