Police Inspector Rajesh Dnyanoba Khandve of Sahakarnagar Police Station alleges that two fellow officers, Assistant Police Inspector Sonali Mithare and Senior Police Inspector Vitthal Pawar, confined him inside his own office for nearly three hours, threatened to implicate him in a false molestation case and deliberately humiliated him; according to his statement, the incident occurred late on November 6.

As he was due to go on leave the next day, he returned to the police station between 11 pm and midnight to collect a bundle of books and other personal belongings from his office, according to his statement.

In a written statement submitted on November 7, Khandve alleged that the two officers acted in connivance to intimidate, verbally abuse and defame him. He claimed the entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras installed inside the police station.

Khandve alleged that while he was sitting in the crime branch office, Mithare entered, questioned why he was at the police station at such a late hour and why he frequently visited at odd hours, threatened to register a molestation case against him and used abusive language despite his repeated explanation that he had come only to collect his belongings.
