Mumbai’s entertainment and influencer circles were shaken recently after beauty influencer and entrepreneur Rajshree More filed a serious police complaint against Raheel Sheikh, son of MNS vice president Javed Sheikh. The allegations include multiple vehicle collisions, verbal abuse, threats, and drunken misbehavior — all reportedly in the presence of police officers. This shocking case, which unfolded on a late Sunday night, has ignited a fresh controversy around political influence, women’s safety, and rising aggression on city roads.
Let’s take a detailed look at what transpired and what legal actions have been taken.
What Exactly Happened?
According to Rajshree More, the incident took place late Sunday night when she was returning from Goregaon to Andheri. She claims that a black SUV began following and deliberately hitting her car multiple times. At first, she believed it could be a mistake, but as the pattern continued, she became convinced that she was being intentionally targeted.
In a video posted on her Instagram account, Rajshree explained:
“The driver of the SUV was ramming my car repeatedly. I turned into a narrow lane near my house to escape and realized I was being chased. I saw two constables and asked for help—they entered my car, and still the SUV hit us again.”
She alleges that Raheel Sheikh, the driver of the SUV, was “drunk and half-naked”, and started abusing and threatening her. She further stated that Sheikh invoked his father’s political influence to intimidate both her and the police officers.
Raheel Sheikh’s Alleged Behavior
More’s statement to the media and the police claims that Raheel Sheikh was highly intoxicated, his pants were “slipping off,” and he could barely stand properly. Despite this, he clearly remembered his political lineage and reportedly kept repeating:
“You don’t know who my father is. You will pay for this.”
Even in the presence of two constables, Sheikh allegedly continued to abuse and misbehave, not just with More but also with the police personnel. The incident raises serious concerns about VIP culture, misuse of power, and the vulnerability of women in such scenarios.
FIR Registered – No Arrest Yet
An FIR has been filed under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which replaced the IPC in 2024. The charges include:
- Section 79: Gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman
- Section 281: Rash and negligent driving
- Section 125 & 185: Driving under the influence of alcohol
As of now, despite the seriousness of the allegations, Raheel Sheikh has not been arrested, raising questions about possible political interference or delayed police action.
Who Is Rajshree More?
Rajshree More is a popular Mumbai-based influencer, nail artist, and entrepreneur. She runs a successful nail art studio in Lokhandwala, catering to celebrity clients and social media audiences alike. With over 31,000 followers on Instagram, she often collaborates with Bollywood personalities and beauty brands.
But this is not her first brush with controversy.
The Marathi Language Row
A few months ago, More was caught in another political firestorm after she uploaded a video questioning the Maharashtra government’s push to impose Marathi language usage. In the now-deleted clip, she argued:
“Marathi should not be forced upon people. Local residents should work harder rather than focusinon language politics. If migrants leave Mumbai, its development will stall.”
This statement didn’t sit well with MNS supporters, who have long advocated for Marathi pride and linguistic identity. A complaint was filed at the Oshiwara police station, and after facing severe online backlash, More deleted the video and issued a public apology.
This previous clash with MNS members sets the context for her latest claim that she was deliberately targeted by someone associated with the party.
Political Connection and VIP Misuse?
Javed Sheikh, Raheel’s father, is the vice president of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) — a party known for its aggressive campaigns for Marathi identity and against non-Maharashtrian influences in Mumbai. The fact that the accused in this case is the son of such a powerful figure raises serious questions:
- Was the delayed arrest politically motivated?
- Are police under pressure to go slow on the case?
- Is this a case of VIP culture protecting the accused?
So far, there has been no official statement from the MNS or from Javed Sheikh.
Public Reaction and Social Media Outcry
The incident has gained traction on social media, with netizens demanding justice for Rajshree More and calling out the culture of impunity often enjoyed by relatives of political leaders. Many influencers and activists have come out in support of More, urging authorities to ensure a fair and transparent investigation.
The hashtags #JusticeForRajshreeMore, #RaheelSheikh, and #VIPCultureExposed have started trending across platforms.
