Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik submits breach of privilege notice against Kangana Ranaut for 'tweet'
Mumbai, Dec 14: Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik on Monday said he has submitted a breach of privilege notice against actor Kangana Ranaut after she allegedly tweeted that a Pakistani credit card has been recovered from him during searches by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
Sarnaik, being probed by the ED in a money laundering case, said he has submitted the notice against Ranaut to the office of Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Nana Patole.
Talking to reporters here, the Sena legislator, who had a spat with the actress in the past over her "Pok" remark, said he submitted the notice after she allegedly tweeted that a Pakistani credit card was found when the probe agency raided his premises.
"This false news has maligned me. My family and I have been cooperating with the (ED) investigation," Sarnaik said, adding the ED had raided his offices on November 24.
Following Ranaut's "tweet", fake news against him is circulating on social media, Sarnaik alleged.
"Nothing illegal has been found in my possession during the ED raids," the Sena MLA from Ovala Majiwada in Thane district asserted.
On December 12, Ranaut, without naming the Sena MLA, tweeted, "He had threatened to break my face when I had said Mumbai was feeling like POK. India recognise those who are staking everything for you and those who are taking everything from you. Where you place your faith their lies your future.
India Pakistan na ban jaye sambhalo yaaron."
The actress then re-tweeted a post by someone else, "Credit Card of Pakistan National recovered from Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik's residence."

8 children between ages of 1 and 14 dead after mass shooting in Louisiana, police say
Shreveport(US) (AP): A gunman in Louisiana killed eight children in shootings at two different homes early Sunday in the nation's deadliest mass shooting in more than two years, police in Shreveport said.
The victims ranged in age from one to about 14 years old, said Shreveport police spokesperson Chris Bordelon. A total of 10 were shot and some of the children were related to the suspect, Bordelon said.
The gunman later died after a chase with officers who fired at the suspect, Bordelon said. The suspect stole a car while leaving the scene of the shootings and was followed by police, according to Bordelon.
Police did not release the name of the suspect but did say he was an adult male. The shootings were the result of a “domestic disturbance,” Bordelon said.
Officials said they were still gathering details at the crime scenes south of downtown Shreveport — the two homes and a third location.
“This is an extensive scene unlike anything most of us have ever seen,” he said.
It was the deadliest mass shooting in the US since eight people were killed in a Chicago suburb in January 2024, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.
At a news conference outside the residence where one of the shootings occurred, officials appeared stunned, requesting patience and prayers from the community as they sorted through multiple crime scenes.
“I just don't know what to say, my heart is just taken aback,” Shreveport Police Chief Wayne Smith said. “I cannot begin to imagine how such an event could occur.”
“This is a tragic situation — maybe the worst tragic situation we've ever had,” said Tom Arceneaux, mayor of the city in northwestern Louisiana with about 180,000 residents. “It's a terrible morning.”
Louisiana State Police say their detectives have been asked by Shreveport police to investigate. In a statement, state police say no officers were harmed in the shooting that involved an officer after a police pursuit into Bossier City on Sunday morning.
State police are asking anyone with pictures, video or information to share it with state police detectives.
Louisiana Gov Jeff Landry said in a statement that he and his wife were heartbroken. “We're deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers and first responders working tirelessly on the scene,” he added.
