A team of police from Thane in Maharashtra on Wednesday went to Nashik and met Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut to collect information about his allegation that he faces "threat to life" from Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's son.

The Rajya Sabha member had made the allegation in a letter written to the Mumbai police commissioner, copies of which were also sent to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the Thane city police.
