The Maharashtra police informed the Bombay High Court on Tuesday that they have chosen not to invoke provisions for outraging religious sentiments against BJP leaders, including Kankavli MLA Nitesh Rane. This decision stems from the understanding that the words "Rohingyas and Bangladeshis" used in their speeches were not targeted at Indians.
