Sudhir Kharkate, the security officer at Mahatma Gandhi International Hindi University in Wardha, has been accused of assaulting and misbehaving with Ruchika Thakare, a girl from Wardha city. The victim has lodged a complaint at the Ramnagar police station, calling for strict action against him.
The incident occurred at a public place in Wardha, Maharashtra, where Sudhir Kharkate allegedly used offensive language and physically assaulted Ruchika Thakare. A video of the altercation has since gone viral on social media, leading to widespread outrage.
The incident has sparked significant outrage among university students and local residents of Wardha, as reported by Janchowk. In response, the students have submitted a complaint to the university’s vice-chancellor, demanding the immediate suspension of Sudhir Kharkate and strict action against him.
Ruchika alleges that on January 17, a car intentionally crashed into her motorcycle while she was standing next to it, causing her to fall. The car driver then began inspecting the vehicle for scratches, while bystanders rushed to assist Ruchika.
As per the local media report, Ruchika confronted the man, who allegedly started threatening her. She called home. By this time, the driver’s wife came down from the car and started interacting with Ruchika. As the verbal fight continued, the man allegedly drove the car across Ruchika’s feet. They left the scene, Ruchika said.
When Ruchika’s mother and brother arrived at the scene, bystanders provided them with details about the car’s driver, mentioning that he lives nearby in a rented house.
Ruchika and her family reported the incident to the police station. However, on January 18, a relative of the accused reportedly approached Ruchika and her family, attempting to convince them to withdraw the case. This is when the alleged abuse occurred.
