Ashok Kharat Scandal: Astrologer Ashok Kharat arrested for sexual exploitation of 100+ women. He used to prey on many women, including pregnant women, by sending their husbands out on the pretext of worship. Videos recorded by a former employee are the main evidence.
Nashik: After the arrest of astrologer Ashok Kumar Eknath Kharat, who claims to be God, new and sensational revelations are being made every day. Ashok Kharat is currently in police custody and investigation is underway. During the investigation, the police have found some videos and information which are surprising. Earlier it was reported that videos of 58 women being forced and raped in the name of worship and spirituality were found. But now this number is said to be not 58 but 100. The most shameful thing is that this hypocrite Baba also made a pregnant woman a victim of his lust.
Used to send husband out in the name of ‘negative energy’
Husbands and wives used to come to this hypocritical Baba with their problems. He used to tell them some rituals and spiritual processes. He would then tell the husband that during the puja, ‘negative energy’ would come out from the woman’s body, which could enter the body of her weak-hearted husband, so he should wait outside the room. As soon as her husband went out, he used to touch women inappropriately in the name of worship. He would excite them by giving them medicines like Viagra in the name of Prasad and then sexually exploit them in his chamber itself. A former employee working in his office has recorded all these videos.
Even pregnant women were not spared
A pregnant woman came to this fake Baba with her husband. After spending a lot of money he had taken the time to meet Baba. They were about to become parents after waiting for many years, so they wanted the birth of the child to happen without any hindrance. But like others, this fake Baba sent her husband away and made the pregnant woman a victim of his lust. He told the woman that this ‘puja’ was necessary for the safe delivery of the child. The former employee told that despite the woman’s protest, he carried out his act.
Former employee of Ashok Kharat recorded video
These videos have been recorded by an employee working in Ashok Kharat’s office till 2024. When he suspected that Kharat was misbehaving with women and saw many women going out crying, he installed a secret camera in Kharat’s chamber. The employee says that Kharat is a very big and powerful man, who has connections with politicians and officials, so he recorded these videos as proof. He has handed over all these videos to the investigating police team.
This employee started working in Ashok Kharat’s office in 2019 and he came to know about these activities of Baba. By 2022, he had recorded some videos. In 2024, when he questioned Baba’s actions, he was fired from his job and even received death threats.
Raped in the name of worship
A woman has filed a complaint against Ashok Kharat after the police found 100 video evidences. She has alleged in her complaint that she was raped in the name of worship. The woman told that for the first time in 2020, she was molested and then she was blackmailed and sexually exploited till 2026.
