NCP-SP leader Rohini Khadse on Monday finally broke her silence after her husband Pranjal Khewalkar’s arrest in the Pune rave party case.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Khadse wrote, "I have full faith in the law and the police system. Time is the answer to everything. The truth will come out at the right time! Jai Maharashtra!"
कायद्यावर व पोलीस यंत्रणेवर माझा पूर्ण विश्वास आहे. प्रत्येक गोष्टीला वेळ हेच उत्तर असतं. योग्य वेळी सत्य बाहेर येईल !

Khewalkar’s father-in-law and former Maharashtra minister, Eknath Khadse, said he would not defend his son-in-law if he was involved, "but won't spare anybody if he is found to be falsely implicated." "I hope Pune police investigate the matter with complete transparency and honesty," he added.
Khewalkar and six others, including Nikhil Poptani, Sameer Sayyad, Sachin Bhombe, Shreepad Yadav, Isha Singh, and Prachi Sharma, have been remanded to police custody till July 29 by a local court in Pune.

The current case appears to be a deliberate attempt to frame his client, the advocate further contended. Khewalkar does not consume drugs and is a victim of a political malaise, Thombre told the court.
After hearing both sides, the judge remanded all seven accused to police custody till July 29.
