Navi Mumbai Corporator Sahil Chougule Case: Sexual Assault Allegations, Counterclaims and Investigation Underway

A criminal case registered against Navi Mumbai corporator Sahil Chougule has triggered political and public attention after allegations of sexual assault, intimidation, and blackmail were met with strong denials and counterclaims from the accused.

The Sahil Chougule case has drawn significant attention in Navi Mumbai after police registered a case based on allegations made by a 26-year-old woman, while the accused has denied wrongdoing and termed the allegations false.

According to reports, Sahil Chougule is an elected corporator associated with the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. He is also reported to be the nephew of Vijay Chougule, the Leader of the Opposition in the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation.

The matter remains under investigation, and no court has yet determined the truthfulness of the allegations or the competing claims made by the parties involved.

Allegations Detailed in Police Complaint

According to the complainant’s statement cited in media reports, the woman alleged that she first met Sahil Chougule in July 2024 when she visited an apartment in Airoli where her uncle was employed.

The complainant alleged that Sahil Chougule asked her to wait inside the apartment until her uncle returned. She further claimed that she was served a soft drink allegedly mixed with sedatives, after which she lost consciousness.

According to the complaint, the woman later alleged that she realised she had been sexually assaulted. She further claimed that obscene photographs and videos were recorded without her consent.

The complaint also alleged that Sahil Chougule repeatedly threatened to circulate the images on social media and warned that harm could come to her husband and minor child if she reported the matter.

According to the allegations, the woman requested deletion of the images from Sahil Chougule’s mobile phone. She claimed that the request was refused and that subsequent attempts to contact him were unsuccessful.

The complainant further alleged that she initially faced difficulties in getting her complaint formally registered. According to reports, she later approached political representatives and police authorities seeking intervention.

Role of Amit Maurya and Police Investigation

Media reports stated that Amit Maurya, a resident of Chinchpada in Airoli, was named as a co-accused in the case.

According to the allegations, Amit Maurya allegedly booked a hotel room in his own name where one of the alleged incidents was said to have taken place. These allegations are part of the ongoing investigation.

Senior police inspector Balkrushna Sawant reportedly stated that the case remains under investigation and that no arrests had been made at the time the reports were published.

The investigation is expected to include an examination of witness statements, digital evidence, call records, electronic devices, and any other material considered relevant by investigators.

Sahil Chougule Rejects Allegations, Claims Political Conspiracy

Sahil Chougule has denied all allegations made against him and described the complaint as false and politically motivated.

According to statements attributed to him in media reports, Sahil Chougule claimed that the complainant had previously filed false complaints against other individuals, including a police officer attached to Rabale MIDC Police Station.

He further stated that an audio recording had been submitted to police authorities, which he claimed supported his contention that the allegations were fabricated for extortion purposes.

Sahil Chougule also alleged that rival political interests were attempting to damage his public image and political career. These claims have not been independently verified and remain part of the competing narratives surrounding the case.
