Hanuman Chalisa row: Maharashtra MP-MLA couple sent to judicial custody

The Maharashtra MP-MLA couple - who were locked in a standoff with chief minister Uddhav Thackeray - have been sent to judicial custody for 14 days. Amravati MP Navneet Kaur and her husband Ravi Rana were arrested on Saturday over allegedly inciting the public after they gave a warning to the CM that they will chant 'Hanuman Chalisa' outside his Bandra home - 'Matoshree'.

The couple had earlier on Saturday alleged that they were not allowed to leave their home because of a huge deployment of cops and a massive protest by the Shiv Sena workers.

They had warned they would chant the hymn in praise of the Hindu God outside the CM's home, challenging his stance on Hindutva.
