Mumbai: An FIR has been filed against Rahil Javed Shaikh, the son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) state vice president Javed Shaikh, for allegedly driving under the influence and ramming his vehicle into a woman’s car in the Andheri area late Sunday night.
The woman, identified as Rajshree More—who was reportedly once a close associate of actress Rakhi Sawant—shared a video of the incident on Instagram. In the footage, Rahil is seen semi-naked, visibly agitated, and allegedly using abusive language.
Rahil can reportedly be heard shouting, “Bhod paishe the.”**
He also says, “My father is the state vice president of MNS.”
The video further captures Rahil arguing with police officers and aggressively confronting Rajshree. In Marathi, he is heard saying,
“Go and tell the cops I am Javed Shaikh’s son, then you’ll see what happens.”
Rajshree later posted an image of the FIR registered against Rahil and alleged that she felt threatened during the incident. She also claimed that she has been targeted by MNS supporters due to her earlier comments on the Marathi language imposition controversy.
She had recently shared a controversial video questioning the imposition of Marathi in Maharashtra, suggesting that local Marathi people should focus on working harder instead. The video sparked backlash, and MNS workers from Versova lodged a complaint against her at Oshiwara police station, according to News18. Following the uproar, she deleted the video and issued a public apology.
