Mumbai-based influencer and nail artist Rajshree More has been making headlines following an alleged public confrontation with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena(MNS) leader’s son in public. She has filed a police complaint against Raheel Sheikh, MNS Vice-president Javed Sheikh’s son, accusing him of ramming her car multiple times and threatening her while allegedly under the influence of alcohol.
What Happened?
The incident reportedly took place late Sunday night when More was travelling from Goregaon to Andheri. According to More, Raheel rammed his SUV into More’s car multiple times. She also accused him of hurling abuses, threats, and boasting about his political connections, saying, “Do you know who I am? My father is in MNS.” A viral video captured Rahil, shirtless and visibly drunk, verbally attacking More in the presence of police officers. In a video posted to her Instagram account, More described the ordeal, saying she was being followed and intentionally targeted.
“The driver of the SUV was ramming my car repeatedly. The first time, I thought it was a mistake. But it kept happening. I turned into a narrow lane near my house and realised I was being targeted. I asked my driver if our doors were locked. When I saw two constables nearby, I called them for help—they got into my car. Even then, the other car rammed us again,” she told NDTV.
She also alleged that Raheel was half-naked. “He was drunk and half-naked. His pants were slipping off. He didn’t remember his clothes, but remembered who his father was. He started abusing me, threatening me, saying I would have to pay for this,” she said.
An FIR has been filed against Raheel Sheikh under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)
- Section 79 (gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman)
- Section 281 (rash and negligent driving)
- Sections 125 and 185 (driving under the influence)
Who Is Rajshree More?
Rajshree More is a beauty influencer and entrepreneur in Lokhandwala. She also runs a nail art studio. She has over 31,000 followers on Instagram and often posts videos with Bollywood celebrities. The incident follows prior tensions between More and MNS supporters. More recently faced backlash for a now-deleted video where she criticised the push to enforce Marathi language use and supported migrant workers, warning that Mumbai’s economy could suffer without them.
This prompted MNS workers to demand an apology and file a complaint against her. More claims she is being targeted for her inclusive stance and has expressed fear for her safety, asking, “Where am I safe?” The controversy has triggered political reactions, with Maharashtra Minister Nitesh Rane accusing MNS of inaction due to Rahil’s religious identity, while Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Nirupam slammed MNS for “goondaism.”
