Case filed against me by Nashik police under Maha CM's pressure: Sanjay Raut

Mumbai, May 15 (PTI) Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Monday alleged that the Nashik police have registered a case against him under pressure from Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and state Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
