A 33-year-old woman from Dubai has lodged an FIR (first information report) against Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale accusing him of raping her under fake promises of marrying her. She even tweeted her plea to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to help her.
The victim wrote a letter to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde alleging that Shiv Sena MP Rahul Shewale lured her into a marriage proposal and raped her under pretexts of fake marriage. She demanded justice in her letter to Shinde as Rahul cheated on her. She said the police had not been taking her complaints because of Rahul’s political background and the political connections he possesses.
She said the Mumbai police had refused to file FIR against the shiv sena parliamentarian and ignored her complaints. She further threatened of taking her life if her complaints are not heard and justice is not served.
Shewale’s wife Kamini, tweeted in support of her husband as she dismissed the allegations made against him and called them a “deliberate conspiracy” to tarnish Shewale’s reputation. In her tweet, Kamini wrote, “The woman had been threatening to kill me and my family members for the past few months.
A case was also registered against her in Sharjah a few months ago for intimidation with intent to extort, defaming the image of a dignitary and she was also jailed for around 80 days. The woman has a criminal family background. Her brother is serving sentence in a Delhi jail for raping and murdering a woman. This is a deliberate conspiracy to tarnish the political and social reputation of MP Rahul Shewale".
