Union Minister Files Harassment Complaint in Maharashtra: ‘Daughter Followed, Pushed’

Union Minister Files Harassment Complaint in Maharashtra: On a Sunday, Union Minister Raksha Khadse alleged that a mob of males harassed her daughter and their pals at a function in Maharashtra's Jalgaon district, and lauded with the filing of the FIR resulting from it. To the complaint, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis strongly reacted by comparing the name of accused being affiliated to a political party besides arresting some of them on involvement in the crime.

The said complaint by Khadse described the incident happening on Friday night during the Sant Muktai Yatra at Kothali village in Muktainagar.

"I was in Gujarat, so my daughter called me to ask for permission to go. I asked her to take a guard and two to three staff members along. My daughter and her friends were followed and pushed, and their photos and videos were taken. When my staff objected, the boys resorted to unruly behaviour, and a mob of 30 to 40 people gathered," Khadse told PTI.

According to Raksha Khadse, this behavior has continued because my daughter earlier told me that this same group had misbehaved with her on February 24 at a public event.

"It is unfortunate. If such things happen to an MP or Union minister's daughter, imagine what common people have to go through," she said.

Fadnavis promises action

CM Fadnavis promised to take action against such misuse.

"Those who harassed Khadse's daughter are from a political party. The local police have arrested some of them and registered a case. There will be strict action taken against them," he said.

Raksha Khadse's father-in-law, that is, former minister and presently NCP (SP) leader Eknath Khadse, evoked that no action had been taken against them by these police.

"The police have already received several complaints against these youths in the past, but no effective steps were taken. These boys are hardened criminals," he said.

He also added that we were made to wait for about 2 hours just to admit the complaint.

"I have spoken to the DSP and IG. When we went to the police station first, we were made to sit for two hours. The police told us to rethink the issue as it relates to girls. The youths have beaten up the police also. These people have political protection," the NCP (SP) leader said.
