Investigators in Nashik recently arrested self-proclaimed astrologer Ashok Kharat, sparking a massive political firestorm over a leaked video involving Rupali Chakankar. We saw the footage circulating across social media platforms in late March 2026, showing the former Maharashtra State Commission for Women chairperson praising the accused “godman.”

The clip surfaced just as police filed 10 separate First Information Reports (FIRs) against Kharat, including eight counts of rape. Public anger reached a boiling point on April 2, 2026, as citizens demanded to know if the video was real or a deepfake designed to ruin a political career.

Our sources confirmed that the video showing Chakankar thanking Kharat for “explaining her life’s purpose” is indeed authentic and not a digital fabrication. In the recording, she stands before him and credits her entire existence to his guidance.

“You are the guru who told me why I was born and what I should do in this life,” Chakankar stated in the viral clip. This admission of a close spiritual bond has left the NCP leader facing intense scrutiny from both the public and her political rivals.

According to NDTV Marathi, the controversy deepened when another video showed Chakankar performing a ritualistic foot-washing ceremony for Kharat. Opposition leaders like Sushma Andhare labeled the situation the “Maharashtra Epstein File,” claiming the ties between the politician and the accused are a “disgrace to the state.” Critics argue that a woman in her high-ranking position should never have endorsed a man now accused of using sedative-laced “holy water” to assault victims.

We talked to local activists who revealed that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is now analyzing Kharat’s seized mobile devices for more digital evidence. Reports suggest the police found 58 videos on his phone, some allegedly showing the exploitation of various women under the guise of spiritual healing.

These 27 March revelations forced Chakankar to resign from her post as the state women’s commission head. She maintains her innocence, yet the viral footage continues to act as the primary evidence of her long-standing association with the “astrologer.”

The SIT is currently tracing financial links between Kharat’s Shivnika Trust and several high-profile political figures in Pune and Nashik. We saw documents suggesting that nearly 39 state legislators may have visited Kharat’s “Brahmasadan” bungalow for private consultations.

This connection explains why the leaked clips have caused such a panic within the ruling coalition. Every new frame of video that hits the internet brings more questions about who else knew what was happening inside that stone bungalow.

Police are using digital experts to verify the metadata of every leaked file to ensure no “bot-generated” content is fueling the fire. While the primary clips are real, authorities warn that edited versions might be circulating to sensationalize the “leaked” nature of the scandal.

“We are investigating every lead, from financial trails to the source of the sedative drugs,” an SIT official noted. The state remains on edge as more women come forward to share their stories of being silenced by the influence of powerful associates.
