Oxford University Press (OUP) India has issued an apology over certain "unverified statements" published in a 2003 book on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, more than 20 years after his 13th descendant, Udayanraje Bhosale, filed a complaint in a court in Maharashtra's Satara district.

In a public notice published in an English newspaper on Tuesday, OUP India acknowledged that some statements appearing on pages 31, 33, 34, and 93 of the book Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India, written by American author James Laine, were unverified.
