“If my son has done anything wrong, I would not have any problem if action is taken against him.” : Mahesh Joshi

A 23-year-old woman has accused minister Mahesh Joshi’s son Rohit Joshi of raping her in Jaipur and Delhi last year.

According to a zero FIR registered against the Congress leader’s son, the Jaipur-based woman was raped on multiple occasions between January 8, 2021 and April 17, this year.

Breaking his silence over the matter, the minister said, “If my son has done anything wrong, I would not have any problem if action is taken against him.”

When asked if the allegations against his son have any connection with politics, Joshi said, “I do not want to comment at this point on whether it is politically motivated or not. Truth will come out.”

Meanwhile, the FIR against Rohit Joshi was registered in north Delhi under charges of rape, causing hurt by intoxicating drugs, causing miscarriage, abducting a woman to compel her for marriage, unnatural offences, criminal intimidation and molestation.
