Influencer Accuses MNS Leader's Son Of Drink-Driving, Abuse: 'Do You Know Who My Father Is?'
Influencer Rajshree More accused Rahil Javed Shaikh, son of MNS leader Javed Shaikh, of ramming her car while drunk. She claims she was targeted.
Influencer Rajshree More, once a close friend of Rakhi Sawant, alleged that her car was rammed by the son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader, Javed Shaikh, who she claimed was driving drunk. As the controversy escalated, Rajshree detailed the incident, revealing what unfolded on Sunday night.
Rajshree More shared a video from the spot, naming the accused as Rahil Javed Shaikh, son of MNS leader Javed Shaikh. In the clip, Rahil is seen partially undressed, visibly agitated, and hurling abusive language. While speaking about the incident, the influencer told ANI, 'He told me, 'Tujhe pata hai main kaun hoon? Mera baap kaun hai? Main MNS se hoon' (Do you know who my father and I are? I am from MNS). He did not deem it important to even tell his name. Police supported a lot, when he was abusing me and hurling disgusting slurs at me, he seemed very arrogant."
She continued, 'He abused me even before the police and tried to even hit me. When my vehicle was hit once, he could have left. Why was it twice? My vehicle is very famous. People know me and my vehicle. So, why was just my vehicle targetted and why was it an MNS person inside the vehicle? He told me to go to Raj Thackeray's residence and ask for compensation of losses from there."
Rajshree More grabbed headlines recently after sharing a video on social media where she made controversial comments about the local Maharashtrian community. In the video, she criticised the push to enforce the Marathi language on the state's residents, suggesting instead that the local Marathi population should focus on working harder. She went on to claim that Mumbai's Marathi community would struggle if migrants were to exit the city.
'I was targeted because, despite being a Maharashtrian, I raised my voice for people from different backgrounds who come here to work hard. I had urged them not to torture them and let them continue their work. They called me 'Vibhishan'. I respect everyone. Mumbai brings everyone together. Maharashtra belongs to everyone and that is why I raised my voice. Action should be taken. They had come with 200 people and demanding an apology from me. Ek Marathi ladki ko hi ye Marathi waale target kar rahe hain (Being a Marathi she is targetting the Marathi-speaking community). They had threatened to break down my studio if I did not apologise. I am scared of these people. Where am I safe?", she told ANI.
Following her contentious remarks, MNS workers from Versova filed a complaint against Rajshree at the Oshiwara police station. In response, Rajshree issued a public apology and took down the video.

Congress: No discussion yet on inclusion of MNS in MVA
Days after Uddhav and Raj Thackeray shared a stage in a rally against 'Hindi imposition', Congress on Tuesday said that no discussion has been held yet on the inclusion of the MNS in Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). 'No discussion has taken place regarding Raj Thackeray's entry into the MVA,' Maharashtra Congress in-charge Ramesh Chennithala told mediapersons. On the language row and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's remarks against Thackeray cousins, Chennithala said that the party stands firmly with the sentiments and identity of the Marathi people. 'Mumbai is the financial capital of the country, and people from South, North, and every corner of India live happily here. There is no issue of linguistic or regional conflict. However, in Maharashtra, we stand firmly with the sentiments and identity of the Marathi people,' said Chennithala. State Congress chief Harshavardhan Sapkal was absent at the reunion of Sena UBT president Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray at the Worli event on July 5, which was said to be a 'celebration of Marathi victory'. However, another MVA member, NCP(SP) working president Supriya Sule, had attended the event along with the Left parties. According to sources within the Congress, following the reunion of the two Thackerays, the party is contemplating fighting solo in the upcoming local body elections in the state. 'The party is focusing on increasing its organisational base. There is a demand from ground level that we should contest independently, which will give an opportunity to many new and fresh leaders. However, the high command will take a final call,' said a senior party leader.

Mumbai Police detain MNS workers protesting over language row
Thane (Maharashtra) [India], July 8 (ANI): Mumbai Police on Tuesday detained several Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers who were protesting against traders for allegedly not speaking Marathi. The protest was part of a larger controversy surrounding the use of language in the city. MNS workers had gathered in the Mira-Bhayandar area to protest against traders who they claimed were not speaking Marathi. The police had earlier denied permission for the rally, citing intelligence inputs and potential law and order issues. Despite this, the MNS workers went ahead with their protest, leading to their detention by the police. Mira-Bhayander, Vasai-Virar Police Commissioner Madhukar Pandey stated that the police had detained some people and appealed to the city's residents to cooperate with the police. The police had suggested an alternative route for the rally, which the MNS workers had refused to accept. 'Based on the High Court's instructions, we stated that you can take permission to hold rally, but change the route. We also had some intelligence inputs, based on which we made this decision. We have detained some people, and I appeal to the city's residents to cooperate with the police,' Pandey told ANI. The controversy began when some traders in Mumbai were allegedly attacked by MNS workers for not speaking Marathi. The MNS had been demanding that traders and shopkeepers in the city speak Marathi, leading to tensions between the two groups. The police have been working to maintain law and order in the city and prevent any further escalation of the situation. The MNS has been advocating for the use of Marathi in public places and has been critical of those who do not speak the language. The party's chief, Raj Thackeray, has been vocal about the need for people to learn and speak Marathi, especially in Maharashtra. MNS workers protested in the Mira Bhayandar area at Mira road in Thane earlier today, protesting the now rolled back order of the Maharashtra government mandating Hindi language to be taught in primary schools. MNS leader Avinash Jhadav was also detained by the police for protesting at Mira Road. Notably, Maharashtra Minister Pratap Baburao Sarnaik broke ranks with his government and came to Mira Bhayandar to support the MNS protest against traders over the language row. But instead of a warm welcome, MNS workers called him a traitor and forced the minister to leave the spot. The minister had no choice but to leave as the crowd grew agitated. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that the administration asked them to take an alternate route, to which they did not agree. Speaking to reporters outside the Assembly, Devendra Fadnavis said, 'It would be wrong to say that we did not permit the protest at Mira Road. I have spoken to the commissioner, who told me that the Police did not refuse permission for the protest.' (ANI)

ED arrests mastermind for fraudulent mobilisation of investments from public on false promises of high returns
New Delhi [India], July 8 (ANI): Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Kolkata Zonal Office, has arrested Saiyad Jiyajur Rahaman, Director of M/s LFS Broking Pvt. Ltd., on July 5, under the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, the agency said. Earlier, the accused was produced before the Chief Judge, City Sessions Court, Kolkata, on the strength of a production warrant issued by the Court. The accused has been remanded to ED custody till July 14, the ED said. According to the ED, Saiyad Jiyajur Rahaman is the mastermind behind fraudulent schemes carried out through M/s LFS Broking Pvt. Ltd., which promised assured returns ranging from 2-3 per cent on investments, which lured a number of investors into entrusting their hard-earned money to the accused persons. In this matter, searches were earlier conducted on May 22, 2025, at several premises linked to M/s LFS Broking Pvt Ltd and its Directors/associates, resulting in the freezing of various bank accounts, identifying a number of movable and immovable properties, and the arrest of two accused persons, namely Md. Anarul Islam and Dilip Kumar Maity under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, the agency said. As per the ED, the case pertains to the fraudulent mobilisation of public investments by the accused persons through various companies and firms, based on false promises of high returns at exorbitant rates. The arrested persons operated the illegal business under the guise of M/s LFS Broking Pvt Ltd, a company registered with SEBI for share broking and other investment activities. However, they knowingly floated several other firms bearing names similar to M/s LFS Broking Pvt Ltd. Investors were misled into believing that they were investing in the SEBI-registered company, whereas funds were actually diverted to similarly named firms such as LFS Broking and PMS Services, and others, the ED said. So far, the total amount mobilised by the accused persons has been identified to be around Rs. 1500 Crore. Further investigation is under progress, the agency said. (ANI)
