Jaywant Miske's evidence strengthens SIT probe into Ashok Kharat
The Nashik Godman case centers on Ashok Kharat, a self-styled spiritual leader accused of sexually assaulting followers under the pretense of spiritual healing.
The investigation took a major turn thanks to Jaywant Miske, once a devoted follower, who stepped up after his wife was allegedly assaulted by Kharat.
Miske's courage and evidence have become crucial for the Special Investigation Team (SIT) as they dig deeper into these serious allegations.
Miske recorded over 100 alleged assaults
Miske secretly recorded more than 100 instances of alleged assaults, risking his own safety to help build the case. These videos are now key evidence for investigators.
Miske is under police protection.
Political leaders and social activists have also alleged Kharat's contacts with top politicians and bureaucrats, and Miske's testimony could encourage more victims to come forward.
