PTC News Desk: Union minister and BJP leader Raksha Khadse has claimed that her minor daughter was harassed by few boys during the Sant Muktai Yatra in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon. She further filed a complaint against boys.
“Sant Muktai Yatra takes place in the area every year on the occasion of Mahashivratri. Two days ago, my daughter went for the yatra. Some youths harassed her. I went to the police station to lodge a complaint against them.”
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis also reacted to the incident assuring that the stringent action will be taken against the accused.
