MLA Ravi Rana on Friday alleged then Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray had pressured police to probe the killing of Amravati pharmacist Umesh Kolhe in June as robbery at the behest of a Congress leader and demanded a probe by an SIT to ascertain Thackeray's alleged role.

Replying to Rana's demand, state minister Shamburaj Desai told the Legislative Assembly the State Intelligence Department (SID) will be asked to submit a report to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on the charges levelled by Rana in 15 days.
