Baba Ashok Kharat, a self-proclaimed spiritual guide in Shirdi, Maharashtra, India, is embroiled in a shocking fraud case where he allegedly deployed fake Income Tax officers to raid his own devotees. This scheme, reminiscent of the Bollywood film 'Special 26', involved Kharat gathering sensitive financial information from wealthy businessmen and then using it to instill fear by staging raids. Once the panic set in, victims would turn to Kharat for help, only to find themselves extorted for crores in exchange for his 'assistance' in resolving the supposed issues. Many victims are reportedly reluctant to come forward due to potential social embarrassment and the nature of their undisclosed wealth. The case has raised alarms in the district, prompting authorities to consider a full investigation that could unveil additional high-profile individuals involved. The public has been advised to remain vigilant against imposters masquerading as government officials.
