Overview
- More submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and the state BJP president, saying he was stepping down to protect the party’s image, with acceptance not yet confirmed.
- An FIR names More and seven others under multiple Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions, including sections related to voluntarily causing hurt, outraging a woman’s modesty, unlawful assembly and criminal intimidation.
- The complainant, Tejaswini Kadam, alleges she was confronted outside a bungalow, threatened with harm, and later assaulted inside the Chinchwad police station by women party workers.
- Police initially omitted More from the case citing an oversight, then added him after Kadam insisted, and say they are verifying the sequence of events.
