PUNE/NASHIK, March 26 -- The Sarkarwada police in Nashik city have filed two more first information reports (FIRs) against self-styled godman Ashok Kharat, bringing his total case count to eight. The charges include a rape complaint filed by an Ahilyanagar woman on Tuesday night and a separate case of extortion and cheating reported by a businessman on Wednesday. In the latest FIR filed based on the businessman's complaint, Kharat extorted him worth Rs.4 to Rs.5 crores on different pretext between 2018 and 2019. The businessman, who deals in real estate and construction business, alleged that he had also transferred the ownership of his luxury car worth Rs.90 lakh in Kharat's name in 2018. In the another FIR, the woman from Shirdi alleged that Kharat raped her four times between July and December 2024, police said. Kharat allegedly threatened her, claiming he had "divine powers" and could harm her family or cause her parents' deaths if she disclosed the abuse. The woman and her parents first approached Kharat in 2021 through his office staffer, Niraj Jadhav, seeking guidance on constructing a house on their plot. In July 2024, the woman and her parents met Kharat again as she sought his guidance for securing a good job. According to the complaint, Kharat asked her parents to wait outside his chamber, after which he allegedly sedated and raped her. The woman stated that in December, she received a video clip on WhatsApp showing obscene acts involving Kharat and her. When she confronted Kharat, he allegedly claimed the clip was AI-generated. After Kharat's arrest by Nashik city police earlier this month, the woman disclosed the alleged abuse to her parents and has now lodged a formal complaint, police said....
