PUNE: The cyber police have registered a fresh case against former state minister Eknath Khadse’s son-in-law, Pranjal Khewalkar, on Friday, following a complaint lodged by a 26-year-old Mumbai-based model.In her complaint, the woman alleged that Khewalkar called her to different hotels in the city between 2022 and June this year. During this period, the model alleged that Khewalkar, under the pretext of creating a portfolio for her, photographed and recorded videos of her compromising positions.According to the police, the complainant takes up fashion-related assignments in Pune and Mumbai. A mutual friend introduced her to Khewalkar, the police said. In her first information report (FIR), the woman expressed apprehension that these photographs and videos could be misused by Khewalkar. The police registered a case under sections 77 and 66(E) of the Information Technology Act. Section 77 states that penalties under it do not prevent further punishment under other laws, and 66(E) prescribes up to three years’ imprisonment or a fine for violating privacy by capturing or sharing private images without consent.On July 25, officers from the crime branch arrested Khewalkar and six others, including a bookie and two women, over a house party involving drugs. All seven are in judicial custody. The police examined Khewalkar’s mobile phone and discovered many objectionable videos and photographs of several women from different parts of the country. The Maharashtra State Commission for Women has asked the Pune police to investigate this aspect of the case.
