MUMBAI, April 7 -- Social activist Anjali Damania on Monday released call detail records (CDR) allegedly linking self-styled godman Ashok Kharat to a cooperative credit society already under investigation, raising questions about who controlled the funds routed through its accounts. The CDR reveals 73 text messages exchanged by the credit society and Kharat around the time of the plane crash that killed deputy chief minister and NCP chief Ajit Pawar. Rohit Pawar, NCP (SP) MLA, who has consistently alleged a conspiracy behind Pawar's death, alleges a link between Kharat and the accident on January 28. On Monday, Damania released what she claimed were Kharat's CDR although HT could not independently verify their authenticity. The CDR points to calls between Kharat and Omprakash Koyte Patil, who heads the Samata Credit Society. The CDR logged 11 calls allegedly between Kharat and Koyate Patil between October 9, 2025 and January 22, 2026. The longest call lasted 7.8minutes, on December 13, 2025. Police are investigating the financial transactions of Samata Credit Society in Kopargaon, Ahilyanagar, and Jagdamba Credit Society in Sinnar, Nashik. Kharat was not only the nominee in more than 130 of these accounts, many of the them were operated using mobile numbers associated with him. Funds routed through these accounts exceeded Rs.62.74 crore between 2021 and 2024. Damania said that 297 text messages had been sent by the Samata Society since April 2025 to Kharat, of which 129 were in January 2026 alone. Said Koyte Patil, "All the transactions relating to Kharat in our society are legal and as per norms and rules of the Cooperative Societies Act. We have submitted all the details to the Shirdi police station, which has been probing the case."...
