Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 7 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Sudhir Mungantiwar on Monday called for strict action against Rahil Shaikh, the son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Javed Shaikh, who allegedly abused social media influencer Rajshree More.
Speaking to ANI, MLA Mungantiwar said, 'Strict action should be taken. Nobody has the right to misbehave with any woman. No party has the right to do so, be it in the Opposition or on the ruling side. I don't link individuals' actions to the party...It won't be right to say that the entire MNS is bad.'
Social media influencer Rajshree More has demanded strict action against Rahil Shaikh, the son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Javed Shaikh after he allegedly abused and threatened her following a road accident in Mumbai's Andheri West.
A video of the incident, which shows a shirtless Shaikh hurling abuses at More, has gone viral on social media, prompting police action.'I was coming from Goregoan to my home. On the way, a car hit my car. After moving a bit ahead, the car hit me again,' More told ANI.
'On the way, I got two policemen. I asked them to help me. The person driving the car was drunk, and he had hit my car several times. When he was caught, he was not even wearing his clothes,' she added.
