A First Information Report (FIR) has been registered at Amboli police station after Marathi social media influencer and actress Rajshree More accused Rahil Javed Shaikh, son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) politician Javed Shaikh, of misbehaving with her following a car accident in Mumbai.
According to More, the incident occurred when Rahil Shaikh allegedly hit her vehicle. In a video she later posted to social media, Shaikh is seen emerging from his car shirtless and appearing intoxicated, before engaging in a heated exchange with her. The video has since gone viral.
More, who is known to be a close friend of actress Rakhi Sawant, claimed she felt threatened during the confrontation and has urged authorities to take strict action against Shaikh. Mumbai police have launched an investigation into the incident based on her complaint.
This is not the first time More has drawn public attention. Weeks before the alleged incident, she sparked controversy after posting a video online criticising the enforcement of the Marathi language in Maharashtra. In her remarks, she questioned why efforts were being made to impose Marathi on residents, suggesting instead that the local Marathi-speaking community should be encouraged to work harder.
She also warned that the condition of local Marathi communities in Mumbai could deteriorate if migrants decided to leave the city. Her comments triggered a backlash from Maharashtra Navnirman Sena supporters, prompting MNS workers in Versova to file a complaint at the Oshiwara police station.
Following the uproar, More removed the contentious video and issued a public apology.
Police said they are currently reviewing footage and collecting statements in connection with the Amboli incident.
