Former Chairperson of Maharashtra State Commission for Women, Rupali Chakankar, Ordered to Appear for Interrogation?
Nashik: A major new twist has emerged in the case involving allegations of sexual exploitation and fraud against the self-proclaimed 'Captain,' Ashok Kharat. As the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Nashik Police accelerates its probe into the matter, sources have revealed that orders have been issued to Rupali Chakankar—the former Chairperson of the Maharashtra State Commission for Women—to appear for questioning.
Significant political and social pressure had mounted on Rupali Chakankar after certain old photographs and videos linking her to Kharat went viral on social media. Subsequently, she resigned from her post as the Chairperson of the Women's Commission. It is now understood that the SIT has issued a notice to her to examine her role in the ongoing investigation into this case.
Background of the Kharat Case:
Ashok Kumar Eknath Kharat (alias 'Captain'), a figure known in Nashik as a numerologist, faces grave allegations involving the sexual exploitation of women, rape, fraud, and criminal intimidation. Over 58 obscene videos have been seized from his possession, and a total of 10 criminal cases have been registered against him. Kharat is alleged to have posed as a spiritual guru to deceive numerous women and defraud them of crores of rupees.
This case has created a massive sensation across Maharashtra and has raised questions regarding the connections of certain individuals within political and administrative circles. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also pledged to take strict action in this matter.
Rupali Chakankar's Stance:
While offering a clarification regarding the viral photographs and videos, Chakankar had stated that the visuals dated back several years and that, at the time, she was unaware of Kharat's illicit activities. Nevertheless, she has affirmed that she will extend her full cooperation to the investigation.
In accordance with the notice issued by the SIT, Chakankar is expected to appear shortly to present her side of the story. Speculation is rife that several other prominent names may also be subjected to interrogation in connection with this case. For further updates: The investigation into the case is ongoing, and the police have made special arrangements to ensure the safety of the victimized women. These developments have once again brought the issues of women's safety and public awareness regarding the misdeeds of fraudulent godmen to the forefront of public discourse.
