Earlier in September, the Vakola Police had booked Khadse for allegedly making “obscene’ remarks” against Damania in a speech at a public function. In her statement to the police, Damania alleged that Khadse passed objectionable comment about her. She was informed about the speech by an associate of her in Jalgaon. Following this, the activist demanded that police file an FIR against the BJP leader and even camped at the Vakola police station.

Damania and others had also filed a public interest litigation (PIL) alleging that Khadse had amassed huge wealth. The property owned by Khadse and his relatives was thoroughly disproportionate to the known sources of income, the PIL said. Khadse stepped down as Revenue Minister last June after allegations of impropriety surfaced against him in the purchase of an industrial plot near Pune in the name of his wife and son-in-law.

The AAP on Saturday condemned the threat to Damania and called for the investigation to be handed to a specialised agency, such as RAW or the Intelligence Bureau.
