A day after the arrest of Eknath Khadse`s son-in-law in Pune `drug party` raid case, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claimed on Monday that the former Maharashtra minister was being targeted for linking BJP leader Girish Mahajan with an alleged honey trap scandal, reported news agency PTI.
Speaking to reporters in Delhi, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader described the arrest of Eknath Khadse`s son-in-law, Pranjal Khewalkar, as suspicious. He also criticised the ruling BJP, alleging it was "targeting" family members of political rivals and maligning their reputations. The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader suggested that the former Maharashtra minister`s home was attacked "to shut his mouth," in an apparent reference to Khadse.
Pranjal Khewalkar, the husband of Eknath Khadse`s daughter Rohini Khadse, was arrested along with six other individuals after the police raided a "drug party" at an apartment in Pune in the early hours of Sunday.
