Controversial retired police officer Pradeep Sharma’s wife, Swikruti Sharma, and her two daughters joined the Shiv Sena in the presence of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday evening. She is expected to contest the Assembly elections from Andheri East.

Sharma arrived at the CM’s official residence, Nandanvan-Varsha, for her induction, accompanied by a caravan of over 50 vehicles, including buses, cars, and bikes, carrying hundreds of workers, mostly women. Sharma’s daughters, Ankita and Nikita, also joined the Sena.
