Hotelier in Nagpur accuses Shiv Sena leader of sexual assault at gunpoint.
In the city of Nagpur, things took a disturbing turn when a local Shiv Sena functionary, Mangesh Kashikar, was charged with a series of heinous crimes. Unmasked as a predator and a charlatan, this Sampark Pramukh (Contact Chief) of the Shiv Sena is facing allegations that range from molestation and extortion to threats at gunpoint.
The victim, a woman hotelier, accused Kashikar of orchestrating a deceptive scheme. She claimed that she had invested a substantial sum of Rs 1.5 crore for renovating a hotel that Kashikar had falsely laid claim to as his own. To add insult to injury, Kashikar allegedly harassed her, demanded sexual favors, and forcibly seized the hotel when she objected. To intimidate her further, he supposedly brandished a pistol.
An FIR has been registered against the accused under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita. In an attempt to evade justice, Kashikar has gone into hiding. The Bajaj Nagar police station is currently leading the hunt for him.
Intriguingly, it seems Kashikar had a taste for threats and intimidation. Supposedly, he warned the woman that he could misuse his political connections to falsely accuse her of a crime, emphasizing his alleged links with the police. Furthermore, it is reported that he had begun creating disputes after receiving money via cheques for three months.
This case has created a wave of discontent and shock across political circles in Nagpur and beyond. As a prominent leader of the Shiv Sena's Vidarbha faction, these allegations cast a dark shadow over Kashikar's reputation. Kashikar was part of the Shinde group following a party split in 2022 and recently assumed the role of Lok Sabha Sampark Pramukh for Chandrapur. [1][2][3]
