A court in Nashik has sent self-styled godman Kharat to judicial custody until May 6 in connection with a fifth case of sexual assault. The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is expected to produce Kharat before the court again on Friday in a sixth case involving allegations of sexual harassment of a woman.
The case against Kharat, who claims to be a spiritual leader, has been escalating with multiple women coming forward with accusations of sexual misconduct. The SIT has been investigating these cases and has gathered substantial evidence against the accused.
Kharat was previously arrested and has been in custody since his initial detention. The court's decision to extend judicial custody reflects the seriousness of the charges and the need for a thorough investigation.
The next hearing in the sixth case is scheduled for Friday, where the SIT will present further evidence. Legal experts suggest that the prosecution is building a strong case based on testimonies and forensic evidence.
The Nashik police have assured the public that they are handling the matter with utmost diligence. Women's rights groups have welcomed the court's decision and called for a fair trial.
