Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik has submitted a notice to Principal Secretary Maharashtra Legislative Assembly against actress Kangana Ranaut.

The notice was filed over her tweet. According to Sarnaik's notice, in the stated tweet, Kangana had allegedly said that 'those who were threatening me to break my face, now Pakistani credit card is seized from their residence in ED raid'.

Sarnaik, in his notice, also stated that Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted two raids at his residence and has found nothing suspicious in those raids.

"ED called Sarnaik and his son for inquiry and they are cooperating with the (agency - ED) and there is no issue," stated Sarnaik's notice.

It also added, "However, after Kangana's tweet, electronic media and print media published news against Sarnaik. They were defaming and baseless as ED has officially said nothing about seizures in their raids."

Hence, the MLA has requested the Principal Secretary to forward his notice/complaint to the Privilege Committee of Maharashtra Assembly.

The action was taken so that an inquiry in the matter of breach of privilege and necessary action against Kangana and news organisations can be taken.

Another legal case against Kangana Ranaut, filed by Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, was transferred from the Cyber Cell to Crime Branch Unit (CBU) on Monday. The actor had filed a defamation case on Kangana after she called him 'silly ex' in 2016.
