The Maharashtra Congress intensified its scrutiny of the Mahayuti government on Saturday, questioning if state resources were being manipulated to leak sensitive information about Ashok Kharat, a self-styled godman embroiled in serious criminal allegations.
Sachin Sawant, party spokesperson, voiced concerns over the compromised integrity of an ongoing probe, suggesting influential leaders within the ruling coalition might be involved. Sawant pointed to Call Detail Records that align with prior claims of influential involvement.
Investigative lapses or potential political misuse are alarming, he argued, querying the accountability of these leaks, which have further distressing implications for families linked to the case. Activist Anjali Damania highlighted connections via call exchanges between Kharat and senior political figures, adding credibility to these claims.
