On Saturday, January 16, the assistant commissioner of police of Oshiwara division recorded the statement of Renu Sharma, the woman who has accused social justice minister Dhananjay Munde of sexually exploiting her.

Earlier, the woman had taken to social media to levy allegations towards the Oshiwara police who had not registered an FIR against the minister in spite of a written complaint. As per reports, the Indore resident further stated that she was threatened and abused by Munde further elucidating on the details of the places where Munde had taken her and raped her over the years.

Amidst allegations of rape currently heating up the state's politics, the demand for the resignation of Social Justice Minister Dhananjay Munde is gaining momentum across the state. However, opposition BJP leader Krishna Hegde, in a letter to the Mumbai Police, alleged that Munde was being blackmailed by the woman named Renu Sharma.

Meanwhile, BJP leader Kirit Somaiya wrote a letter to the Election Commission 'seeking appropriate action' against him for not disclosing details of his second wife and children in the affidavit. Somaiya added that Munde has no right to hold the position of a Cabinet Minister until he comes clean on the allegations.

Despite serious rape allegations, Sharad Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) was seen backing its minister, with state NCP chief and minister Jayant Patil saying that these are only allegations against him further adding, “He has given his clarification in this regard. This is his family issue. It takes years for one to get established in politics and so without investigating the incident, it would be unfair to finish off someone’s career.”
