In a twist escalating Maharashtra's political drama, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut accused BJP of targeting former minister Eknath Khadse after his son-in-law's arrest. Raut pointed fingers at BJP leader Girish Mahajan, implicating him in a honey trap scandal, which he claims is linked to this arrest.
Speaking from New Delhi, Raut condemned the detention of Pranjal Khewalkar, husband of Khadse's daughter, as suspicious. He alleged a pattern of targeting political opponents' families as a tactic to silence them, citing police actions as complicit.
This incident marks yet another chapter in the ongoing feud between Khadse and Mahajan. Raut criticized the ruling party's approach, referencing similar arrests in other high-profile cases, and called for fairness in the state's political dynamics.
