Female Shiv Sena Official Accuses Former MLA of Harassment
A woman who works for the Shiv Sena (UBT) party in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Maharashtra, has made serious accusations against a former party MLA named Gautam Chabukswar.
She says he harassed her and threatened her family because she wanted to run for office in the local elections.
The woman claims that during an election campaign, Chabukswar tried to touch her in an elevator and later threatened her.
She also says he ignored orders from senior party leaders to give her a chance to run.
Chabukswar denies all these claims and says the party rules did not allow her to run in that area.
The woman is very upset and feels hurt by how she was treated.
A female Shiv Sena (UBT) official accused former MLA Gautam Chabukswar of sexual harassment and intimidation.
She claimed Chabukswar threatened to make her family 'disappear' after she sought a ticket for the PCMC elections.
The incident allegedly occurred during the 2024 Lok Sabha Election campaign in an elevator at a housing society.
