Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane has caused an uproar with his controversial comments regarding the attack on Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan, questioning the authenticity of the incident.

Rane, a BJP leader, raised doubts about the attack during a public gathering in Pune, speculating whether the stabbing was real or merely an act. He remarked, "I doubted whether he had been stabbed or if he was just acting." He further added, "Look at what Bangladeshis are doing in Mumbai. They entered Saif Ali Khan's house. Earlier, they used to stand at the crossings of the roads, now they have started entering houses. Maybe he came to take him (Saif) away. It is good, garbage should be taken away." Rane's comments have sparked outrage as he questioned the seriousness of the attack while making controversial remarks about foreigners in Mumbai.
