A Shiv Sena spokesperson has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court challenging the nomination of former Mumbai mayor Kishori Pednekar for the upcoming civic polls. The petition alleges that Pednekar suppressed details of five FIRs, including one related to COVID-19 fraud, in her nomination affidavit. The court refused an urgent hearing, stating the case would be heard after the January 15 elections, as only a few days remain.
