Controversy Surrounds Alleged Drug Party Involving Former Minister's Son-in-Law

Medical examinations have confirmed the presence of alcohol in the systems of ex-Maharashtra minister Eknath Khadse's son-in-law, Pranjal Khewalkar, and another individual following a police-raided 'drug party.' This event, which took place in Pune's upscale Kharadi area, has drawn significant public and media attention.

Rohini Khadse, Khewalkar's wife, met Pune Police officials to discuss the situation amidst allegations of media bias and tampered evidence. She and her father, former minister Eknath Khadse, claim the charges against Khewalkar are unfounded and designed to tarnish their family's reputation.

The police action resulted in the arrest of seven individuals and the confiscation of narcotics and alcoholic substances. As the case unfolds, the Khadse family remains vocal about potential misconduct in the handling of the investigation, drawing parallels to previous instances of alleged evidence tampering.
