据称阿肖克·卡拉特在印度马哈拉施特邦被捕, 他涉嫌强奸和性侵犯. Ashok Kharat, a self-proclaimed spiritual leader from Nashik, was arrested in Maharashtra on charges of rape and sexual assault, allegedly abusing women over three years through drugging and coercion. 警方从他的办公室查获了58段视频, Police seized 58 videos from his office, which was disguised as a real estate firm, and raided his properties. 随着国家妇女委员会主席, 国民党领导人卢帕利·查坎卡尔 (Rupali Chakankar) 与Kharat一起进行仪式的照片传出后, 这起案件变得更加激烈. The case intensified after viral images showed Rupali Chakankar, chairperson of the state women’s commission and an NCP leader, performing rituals with Kharat, prompting opposition demands for her resignation. 查坎卡否认自己对所谓罪行有任何了解, 而州政府成立了一个由IPS官Tejaswini Satpute领导的特别调查小组来调查此案. Chakankar denies knowledge of his alleged crimes, while the state government formed a Special Investigation Team led by IPS officer Tejaswini Satpute to probe the case. 首席部长德文德拉·法德纳维斯在逮捕前指示迅速行动，卡拉特仍被警方拘留至3月24日。 Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directed swift action prior to the arrest, and Kharat remains in police custody until March 24.
