Thane (Maharashtra) [India], July 8 (ANI): Social media influencer Rajshree More, who has demanded strict action against Rahil Shaikh, the son of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Javed Shaikh, after he allegedly abused and threatened her following a road accident in Andheri West, reached the Amboli Police Station along with Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) leader Sanjay Nirupam today. Speaking to ANI, she expressed gratitude towards Sanjay Nirupam, saying, 'I am thankful to (Shiv Sena leader) Sanjay Nirupam, who supported me. Today, we have come here to ask what laws are there against the person who misbehaved with a woman on the road and how that man was left on notice. The fight of this party was about 'Marathi vs non-Marathi'.' She added, 'Aur isme vo mere against isliye huye ki mai Marathi vs non Marathi nahi lad rahi mera yeh hai Marathi vs bhinn bhinn jaati ke log hai par hum Hindustaani of these things will affect my business. I have worked hard for my they can target a Marathi woman, then imagine what is happening with the non-Marathi people...I am being threatened. Mujhe jo threats aa rahe vo ye aa rahe ki aap hamare devatva ko neche gira hamare devatva hai aap unke khilaaf baat mat karo.. I want to say that I have immense respect for Raj Thackeray. However, I am against the 'Marathi vs non-Marathi' divide. I will fight for my justice. I will stand with all the non-Marathi people. I will not step back.' Sanjay Nirupam added, 'A youth misbehaved with Rajshree More. He was drunk and semi-naked, and he constantly abused her verbally and threatened her by using MNS's name...A case was registered, and today, we have come here so that she can get justice. The Marathi language and its speakers must be respected. However, those who use the Marathi language for their political gains, we request that they refrain from disrespecting, verbally abusing, or threatening anyone...' Social media influencer Rajshree More has demanded strict action against Rahil Shaikh, the son of MNS leader Javed Shaikh, after he allegedly abused and threatened her following a road accident in Mumbai's Andheri West. A video of the incident, which shows a shirtless Shaikh hurling abuses at More, has gone viral on social media, prompting police action. 'I was coming from Goregoan to my home. On the way, a car hit my car. After moving a bit ahead, the car hit me again,' More told ANI. 'On the way, I got two policemen. I asked them to help me. The person driving the car was drunk, and he had hit my car several times. When he was caught, he was not even wearing his clothes.' More alleged that the man brought up his political connections during the altercation. 'He started the angle of MNS. I was not aware of who he was. When I asked him why he hit my car and whether he was aware that he was so much drunk that he hit three other people also who were walking on the street. The three people saved themselves by moving aside. When I was telling him all this, he told me that 'Tujhe pata hai main kaun hoon? Mera baap kaun hai? Main MNS se hoon' ('Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? I am from MNS'). He did not deem it important to even tell his name. The police supported a lot. When he was abusing me and hurling disgusting slurs at me, he seemed very arrogant. He abused me even before the Police and tried even to hit me,' she said. She wondered why her vehicle had been targeted twice. 'When my vehicle was hit once, he could have left. Why was it hit twice? My vehicle is very famous. People know me and my vehicle. So, why was just my vehicle targeted, and why was it an MNS person inside the vehicle?' she said. More said that if the incident were a genuine mistake, the man would have apologised. 'He told me to go to Raj Thackeray's residence and ask for compensation of losses from there... 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 belongs to everyone, and that is why I raised my voice. Action should be taken,' she said. She further alleged that a mob of around 200 people came to demand an apology from her. 'I have a workforce of 40 to 50 people. 80 per cent of the people are Marathi. Ek Marathi ladki ko hi ye Marathi waale target kar rahe hain... (Marathi people are targeting a Marathi woman). They had threatened to break down my studio if I did not apologise. I am scared of these people. Where am I safe? I am under trauma now. I could not come out of what happened two days ago and again yesterday night I had to face trauma. I am completely black. People should support me,' she said. Earlier, the accused youth, identified as Rahil Shaikh, was detained by Mumbai Police on Monday after a video of the incident went to police, the video shows Shaikh, shirtless, allegedly abusing More after his car hit hers. According to police, the youth, identified as Rahil Shaikh, son of MNS state vice president Javed Shaikh, could be seen in the viral video verbally abusing the woman, reportedly after his car hit incident occurred on Vira Desai Road in Andheri West, Mumbai. An FIR has been filed at Amboli Police Station. Rahil Shaikh has been detained and taken for medical examination, and his vehicle has been seized for further investigation, police said.'

Video: Half-Naked MNS Leader's Son Caught Abusing Marathi-Speaking Woman, Shiv Sena Slams
A shocking video has gone viral showing a drunk, half‑naked man verbally abusing a Marathi‑speaking woman. The man has been identified as Rahil Sheikh, son of MNS leader Javed Sheikh. Sharing the clip, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam called out the incident and remarked on it as a 'true face of those who claim to defend Marathi pride.' Nirupam shared a video on X and said, "Drunk out of his senses. Half-naked. An MNS leader's son is hurling abuses at a Marathi-speaking woman. On top of that, he's flaunting his father's influence. See the real face of those who claim to protect Marathi pride. Are these the same MNS people attacking Hindus under the pressure of Muslims?" The incident occurred amid instances of Raj Thackeray's supporters thrashing non-Marathi speakers over the language controversy in Maharashtra. नशे में धुत। अधनंगा। एक मराठी भाषिक महिला के साथ गाली-गलौज करता हुआ मनसे का नेता पुत्र। ऊपर से अपने बाप के रसूख़ की धौंस दे रहा है। मराठी स्वाभिमान की रक्षा करने का दावा करनेवालों का असली चेहरा देखिए। क्या इन्हीं मुसलमानों के दबाव में मनसेवाले हिंदुओं पर हमले कर रहे हैं ? — Sanjay Nirupam (@sanjaynirupam) July 7, 2025 Language Row In Maharashtra Earlier, on July 5, Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) held a joint rally called 'Awaaz Marathicha' at Worli Dome in Mumbai. The event marked the first time in nearly twenty years that Uddhav and Raj Thackeray shared the stage. The rally came after the Maharashtra government scrapped two Government Resolutions (GRs) that aimed to introduce Hindi as a third compulsory language. The now-withdrawn orders regarding the implementation of the three-language formula in state schools had sparked widespread protests from the Shiv Sena (UBT), MNS, and the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction).

Video: Drunk, Half-Naked MNS Leader's Son Abuses Woman Speaking Marathi
Amid instances of Raj Thackeray's supporters thrashing non-Marathi speakers over the language controversy in Maharashtra, a video has surfaced online embarrassing the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). The video shows the son of an MNS leader, drunk and half-naked, abusing a Marathi-speaking woman. The man, later identified as Rahil Sheikh, son of MNS leader Javed Sheikh, is also seen flaunting his father's position. Sharing the video, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam called it the real face of those who claim to be the protectors of Marathi culture. नशे में धुत। अधनंगा। एक मराठी भाषिक महिला के साथ गाली-गलौज करता हुआ मनसे का नेता पुत्र। ऊपर से अपने बाप के रसूख़ की धौंस दे रहा है। मराठी स्वाभिमान की रक्षा करने का दावा करनेवालों का असली चेहरा देखिए। क्या इन्हीं मुसलमानों के दबाव में मनसेवाले हिंदुओं पर हमले कर रहे हैं ? — Sanjay Nirupam (@sanjaynirupam) July 7, 2025 "Drunk out of his senses. Half-naked. An MNS leader's son is hurling abuses at a Marathi-speaking woman. On top of that, he's flaunting his father's influence. See the real face of those who claim to protect Marathi pride. Are these the same MNS people attacking Hindus under the pressure of Muslims?" said Mr Nirupam. Later, speaking to NDTV, he demanded stern action against Sheikh. Several instances have surfaced in the past few days of MNS workers assaulting and threatening non-Marathi speakers, on the lines of the radical campaign by their chief Raj Thackeray, who replicates the aggression of Marathi icon Bal Thackeray. Slamming MNS workers, Mr Nirupam said, "They are doing nothing but 'gundagardi' in the name of language. That is the ground reality of MNS." "Our government is not at all against Marathi, rather we are promoting the language," he further clarified.
