If Mumbai Police launches a probe into the issue, summons could be sent to Adhyayan Suman and also Kangana Ranaut for further investigation into the matter.
Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik had submitted a letter to the Home Department referring to the allegation in Adhyayan''s interview. Taking cognisance of the letter, the department asked the police to conduct an inquiry, the official said.
