Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader Sanjay Raut, who has been in 'ED' custody for the past few days, has been granted bail today after 100 days. He was arrested in connection with the Patra Chawl scam. Meanwhile, MLA Aaditya Thackeray expressed his happiness after Raut got bail. "I am happy that Sanjay Raut got bail. Every honest citizen welcomes this decision. But one thing to note is that in this country, in the state, are we heading towards dictatorship? Everyone needs to think about this." Aaditya Thackeray further alleged, "Anyone who speaks against the state government is threatened with investigation, imprisonment. This means that those political parties who try to speak the truth or try to distort an issue are dealt with using mechanisms."
