Mumbai, Mar 27 (PTI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said criminal action will be taken against those circulating obscene videos of the women victims of self-styled godman Ashok Kharat on social media.
“In Kharat case, many more victims are coming forward. Some more FIRs will be filed,” Fadnavis told reporters in Mumbai.
The victims have been given full protection, including protection of their identities, Fadnavis said.
Kharat was held on March 18 for allegedly raping a woman repeatedly for the past three years. A probe into the case has uncovered several videos of him exploiting women.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) set up by the state government is probing at least six cases linked to Kharat, including those connected to rape, human sacrifice and black magic. PTI VT VT
