More trouble for NCP (SP) leader Eknath Khadse’s son-in-law, Pune police book him for taking nude videos of woman
Pranjwal Khewalkar has been in jail after he was arrested over an alleged rave party in the Kharadi area of Pune in July.

The Pune city police Friday booked Dr Pranjal Khewalkar, the son-in-law of former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (SP) leader Eknath Khadse, for allegedly taking nude videos and photographs of a woman in his cell phone without her consent.
Khewalkar, the husband of Khadse’s daughter Rohini Khadse, the NCP (SP)’s women’s wing chief, has been in jail after he was arrested along with four men and two women following a raid on July 27 on a flat in the Kharadi area where the police claimed a “rave party” was underway.
A police press release on Friday said the woman filed a complaint with the cyber police station that Khewalkar, between 2022 and 2025, allegedly took her nude photographs and videos at different locations without her consent and with the purpose of misusing them in the future.
The police lodged a fresh FIR against Khewalkar at the cyber police station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Section 77 (voyeurism) and provisions of the Information Technology Act.
During the alleged rave party, the police claimed to have recovered 2.7 grams of substance suspected to be cocaine, 70 grams of substance suspected to be marijuana and other items, including ten cell phones, two cars, a hookah pot, liquor and beer bottles, all worth Rs 41,35,400, from the spot.
Th FIR in that case was lodged against the accused at the Kharadi police station under sections of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act (COTPA).
Khewalkar’s lawyer then alleged that the police planted the contraband seized in this case for “political” reasons and that drugs were recovered from his possession.
The police said analysis of Khewalkar’s mobile phone and laptop revealed multiple videos of his alleged obscene and objectionable acts with women during and after the parties.
Rupali Chakankar, the chairperson of Maharashtra Women’s Commission, wrote a letter to the Pune police to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Khadse accused the Pune police of defaming his family by leaking private photos through a conspiracy after arresting his son-in-law.
