Following the kidnap and assault allegations levelled against his son Nilesh Rane by Chiplun Congress Taluka President Sandeep Sawant, former chief minister Narayan Rane visited Sawant on Wednesday at the Thane civil hospital.

On Tuesday, Sawant had said that he was kidnapped, assaulted and confined inside a locked room by former Congress MP Nilesh Rane and his partymen for missing the Maratha meet in Sindhudurg-Ratnagiri District of Maharashtra.

According to Sawant, he was pushed into a car and was driven all the way to Sindhudurg Bhavan in Andheri. On the way he was brutally assaulted and it was only after repeated requests from his family, the former Congress MP dropped Sawant at his mother-in-law's residence in Jogeshwari.

Thane police registered a case of kidnaping, assault, wrongful confinement and causing grievous hurt against Nilesh and his accomplices and later transferred the case to a local police station in Tondavali village.

Talking about the incident, Narayan said: "We are with the Sawant family. We share a good relationship. Sandeep has not only been working with our party but is like our family member. The allegations which has been made would be looked into. Let law take its own course but I will be personally taking the detailed report about the incident."

Shivani Sawant, wife of Sandeep, said: "There was a misunderstanding between Nilesh and my husband which led to the incident. But we have good relation with the Rane family and we expect that such incidents do not take place with loyal people working genuinely for the party."
