Nitesh, who heads NGO Swabhiman Sanghatana, has been accused of firing at Shamim alias Chintu Shaikh, a former aide, in his office in Khar last September.

Chintu Shaikh, an employee of an NGO run by Nitesh had filed a police complaint saying Nitesh had fired at him.

Shaikh had filed the complaint against Nitesh with the Mumbai police, which transferred it to the Mumbai Crime Branch


Chintu Shaikh said that Police is trying to protect Nitesh.

On Sep 23 last year, Shaikh had gone to meet Nitesh at the Sanghatana’s office in Khar.

There, the duo reportedly had an argument over some issue after which Nitesh allegedly whipped out a revolver and fired at Shaikh.

The bullets grazed Shaikh’s cheek, and he ran outside, got into a vehicle and went all the way to Powai, Andheri east, and got himself admitted to the Hiranandani Hospital.

Later, he lodged a police complaint and the case was transferred to the Crime Branch in early October.

A month later, Nov 12, the crime branch cleared Nitesh of the charges against him, saying that no witnesses had testified against him.

Later Chintu Shaikh filed an application to the High Court seeking CBI inquiry probe into this matter.

A division bench of Justice A.M. Khanwilkar and Justice A.R. Joshi granted Shaikh's plea and directed the CBI to take over the investigations into the case.

On March 24, the High Court transferred the case involving Nitesh to the CBI.
Then CBI started investigation.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has booked the son of Maharshtra Industry minister Narayan Rane for attempt to murder.

The investigating agency Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has now registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Nitesh Rane and two others for a shootout that took place in September last year.
