Maharashtra First-Time MP Fined Rs 2 Lakh For "Fake" Caste Papers

Navneet Kaur Rana, the first-time Member of Parliament from Amravati, the second largest city in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, now faces the prospect of losing her seat.

Independent MP from Maharashtra, Navneet Kaur Rana, was today fined Rs 2 lakh by the Bombay High Court for submitting a fake caste certificate. The first-time Member of Parliament from Amaravati, the second largest city in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, now faces the prospect of losing her seat. However, the court is silent on that. Ms Kaur, 35, speaks seven languages and is among the eight women lawmakers from Maharashtra. The actor-turned-politician's candidature was challenged by a former MP and Shiv Sena leader Anandrao Adsul.
