PUNE, July 30 -- Senior Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader Eknath Khadse on Tuesday alleged that plainclothes policemen have been monitoring his activities and even attending his press conferences posing as journalists. He questioned the purpose and legality of such surveillance, hinting at political motives behind the actions. Khadse's son-in-law, Pranjal Khewalkar, was arrested by the Pune police on Sunday along with six others during a raid at an apartment where they were allegedly partying. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Khadse alleged that police personnel had been deployed near his residence without any official explanation. When his daughter questioned the men stationed outside their home, they said they were from Hadapsar police station and had been sent by a certain PI Jagdale, he said. Khadse also raised questions about the ongoing probe into the recent raid in Pune, in which his son-in-law was arrested. He said, "Why was he made the main accused when the drugs were reportedly found in a woman's purse? She should have been the main accused, and the others treated as witnesses." He claimed that only seven people were present at the flat, there was no loud music, and the event could not be classified as a "rave party" as described by the police. "This entire narrative seems aimed at tarnishing my family's image," Khadse said. He questioned the delay in the forensic drug test report, despite the fact that the alcohol test confirmed that Khewalkar had consumed liquor. "We've seen tampering in the past, as in the Pune Porsche case. I fear the same may happen again," he said. Khadse alleged that Khewalkar's phone and laptop were seized, and private family photographs were leaked to the media. "Who leaked these photos? It appears the police are acting on someone's instructions," he said, adding that his son-in-law had told him he had never consumed drugs and was being followed by plainclothes officers for three days prior to the raid....
