India Today
A woman sought Eknath Shinde's help to register an FIR against Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale, alleging that Shewale had raped her under the pretext of marriage.
A 33-year-old Dubai-based woman has sought the registration of an FIR against Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale, accusing him of raping her under the pretext of marriage, and also tweeted her complaint to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
The woman also accused Shewale of mental exploitation and filed a complaint against him in Mumbai’s Saki Naka Police station.
In her complaint, the woman alleged that Mumbai police had not registered an FIR against Shewale due to his political clout and connections.
She has also written an open letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde demanding justice from the government.
“I am begging you for justice. If Saki Naka police does not take my FIR, I will not be left with any option but to end my life,” the woman stated in the letter.
According to the complaint, Shewale established physical relations with the woman after telling her that his relations with his wife were strained and promised to marry her after divorcing his wife.
"The MP used to invite me for dinner at the MP House in Delhi whenever I used to come from Dubai. In October 2021, I posted a video and photo of me and Shewale on Instagram, following which he lodged an FIR against me in Sharjah and I was arrested. I spent 78 days in jail but I was acquitted later," the complainant woman told PTI over the phone on Tuesday.
