Manisha Khakhadiya, an independent candidate from the Mumbai South seat, has lodged a complaint with the LT Marg police against an unknown individual for spreading false messages about her. 

According to her, she is being falsely accused of running a prostitution racket, being involved in illegal activities and threatening voters. Khakhadiya, contesting independently for the first time, aims to advocate for the rights, employment opportunities, and housing for BMC’s 35,000 sweeper staff. She believes that the Opposition is trying to tarnish her reputation to gain votes from sweepers by spreading false messages.
