Fake Baba Ashok Kharat predicted his own death, investigation agency also surprised, serious allegation of asthma threatens Kharat’s life

Mumbai: Maharashtra Ashok Kharat SIT investigation has made sensational revelations. Ashok Kharat has surprised the agencies by predicting his own death during the investigation. The state is in turmoil due to allegations of sexual exploitation of women, his videos and political connections. Kharat himself has predicted his death, on which social activist Anjali Damania has said that his life is in danger. She has claimed that big people are involved in it. Self-styled Captain Ashok Kharat lured several women and sexually assaulted them and also made videos of it. Arrested on March 18, Ashok Kharat’s interrogation by the SIT (Special Investigation Team) has yielded several important conclusions and has shaken the entire state. Kharat, who is in jail, has broken the trust of many people, cheated and robbed them, called women to his office and sexually assaulted them for years. All this was also captured on the CCTV of his office. His obscene acts and dark deeds are being exposed day by day and the police are also surprised and shocked by his daily summary. Kharat has now made a big prediction about himself. According to sources, Ashok Kharat predicted his future and said, “My death is here.” Many people have claimed that he is not safe in police custody yet, and now it is clear from Kharat’s words that he has also started feeling that he will not be able to get out of here alive. On the other hand, social activist Anjali Damania has made a big statement in this matter. Damania has claimed that in the case of the fraudster Kharat, one of the names is “Shizuka Nodi” who received several phone calls. The fraudster Ashok Kharat has also mentioned the name of Shizuka Nodi in his investigation. Damania has made a serious allegation that big people are involved behind it. Damania also raised the question of why Chakankar called him so many times, while reiterating that Rupali Chakankar has 177 calls, but she has not been summoned yet.
Kharat’s life in danger.
In the current situation, Ashok Kharat’s life is in danger, this statement was given by him during his detention. Damania said that now we are afraid that he can be eliminated to end all this. Saying that more information should not be revealed in this matter, therefore his life is in danger, so he should be provided with protection.
Black magic outside Ajit Dada’s house
Damania said that on November 18, a case of black magic came to light outside the house of late leader Ajit Pawar, currently I am focusing on it. Damania has also said that there should be an investigation into the role of Pratibha Chakankar in the Kharat case. After Ashok Kharat’s latest revelation, the investigating agencies have also come into action and their focus has also been shifted to his security. This has been claimed by police sources. Will Kharat’s prediction be correct? He will not come out of here and will die here? This question has also arisen. Why did Ashok Kharat make such a prediction? This question is also in the minds of the agencies and an investigation is underway on this.
