Raj Mungase, the rapper who was booked by the Ambernath police for his alleged anti-Shinde govt song, has been missing since April 6, his family from Aurangabad has said. They alleged that the local police refused to file a missing person complaint and instead asked them to check whether he has been arrested.

The Shivaji Nagar police in Ambernath East booked Raj on April 4 on the complaint of Snehal Kamble, a member of the Yuva Sena Core Committee. The complainant alleged that the song, titled ‘Chor|50 khokhe ekdum ok’, is abusive and defamatory. The song has reference to the events that led to the formation of BJP-Shide Sena government last June.
