The CBI Tuesday told the Bombay High Court it would file a closure report within a week before a magistrate in the case in which Nitesh Rane, son of state Industires Minister Narayan Rane, is accused of opening fire at his employee.

The court was hearing a petition filed by Nitesh seeking quashing of the FIR lodged against him in 2011, saying he had arrived at a settlement with the complainant, Shamim alias Chintu Shaikh.

The HC scheduled the next hearing for June 10 and issued a notice to Shaikh.

Shaikh had filed a complaint with Powai police on September 23, 2010, alleging Nitesh had shot at him twice at his Swabhiman Sanghatana’s office in Khar. Shaikh claimed he was injured as a bullet grazed his cheek. The probe was later transferred to the CBI by HC on Shaikh’s plea.
