In one of the fake videos, the woman was seen putting money in a bag, which was later handed to Amruta’s assistant, Fadnavis said, adding that the woman had recorded every conversation with his wife. “My wife was threatened that this video will shut my shop (career)... The FIR was not published because the police wanted to catch the culprits and advised us to engage with them,” he said. He alleged that the investigation revealed names of senior police officers and political leaders. He did not mention who they are.

Allegations against ex-CP

Fadnavis claimed that the accused had said the previous commissioner police (CP) had started to withdraw the cases against Jaisinghani, but it stopped when the new (Shinde Sena-BJP) government came to power. Later in the day, police detained Anil’s son Akshan for questioning.

Fadnavis later told reporters, “The conspiracy will be revealed when the man [Anil] is arrested, and we will also know whether it is political. It is difficult to say at this stage because the accused has taken so many names and the truth will come out only after the inquiry. They [accused] are also saying that they will name the people we want. So, we cannot trust these people. What will happen when someone takes our names? I will come up with more evidence once I get it. Some evidence will be part of the charge sheet.”
