APRIL 4, 2026 — NASHIK: A chilling new video of self-proclaimed “godman” Ashok Kharat has surfaced, showing the Nashik astrologer brutally abusing a pregnant woman while her husband was forced to wait outside.
We saw the footage emerge today, adding a horrific new chapter to the ongoing SIT investigation into the 67-year-old retired Merchant Navy officer. The clip captures Kharat using extreme profanity and threats against the victim, who had reportedly approached him for spiritual help.
“The Mastermind of Fear”
Our sources confirmed that the Special Investigation Team (SIT) is now using this video as “smoking gun” evidence. Investigators believe he used a mix of ritualistic fear and “holy water” laced with sedatives to trap his victims.

According to NewsX, the prosecution described Kharat’s calculated cruelty in detail during the court hearing. “He is a sexual pervert and a mastermind who used black magic threats to keep his victims silent,” the investigating officer stated firmly before the judge.
We talked to local officials who revealed that Kharat systematically stripped survivors of their identities to prevent them from seeking help. “He reportedly took away the Aadhaar and PAN cards of the victims’ relatives to ensure they could not approach the police,” a source close to the SIT confirmed.

Political Links and Public Outrage
The social media backlash has been massive, and it is starting to pull in big political names. We saw call records (CDR) leaked online that show frequent chats between Kharat and some of Maharashtra’s top leaders. This includes recently resigned Women’s Commission chief Rupali Chakankar, who has been forced to defend her association with the accused.
While she maintains her distance, the public is unconvinced. “The ‘Captain’ used his political clout as a shield for years,” a local protestor shouted during a rally outside the Nashik Police Commissioner’s office today.

The House of Secrets
Police are still hunting for Kharat’s wife and have picked up his son for questioning about the “Shivnika Trust.” We saw documents that suggest this trust was just a front for land grabbing and financial fraud. Forensic teams are currently checking the “pregnant woman” video to find out exactly when it was recorded in his stone bungalow, “Brahmasadan.”
⚡️Strange person is this Ashok Kharat. So many women but there is no change in positions. Seems it’s really some kind of totka. pic.twitter.com/0JNu7RqzO8

As the April 2026 probe gets deeper, the number of formal complaints has hit 11, with seven of them being for rape. We talked to activists who are now helping the survivors.
“Many women were told that their children would die if they ever told the truth,” one counselor whispered, highlighting the psychological trauma involved. For now, the man who called himself a “god” remains behind bars, while the government has already started stripping his trust of all official benefits.
