Talking to media persons in Patna, Babloo said it was a highly condemnable comment from an MP of Maharashtra.
“How can you make such a comment in such a sensitive case without knowing the facts. If need be, I will file a defamation case”, he said.
Raut is the executive editor of the Shiv Sena’s mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ newspaper, where he has a weekly column.
In his column, Raut has claimed that the actor didn’t share good relations with his father K K Singh. “I have received such information. How many times did Rajput visit his father in Patna in the last few years?” he asked.
Raut also went on to say Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey was working for a political party and alleged he tried to contest an election on a BJP ticket. “What can you expect from such a police force?” he asked.
