Pune: Singer Sankalp Gole, popular for the song “Mala Aamdar Jhalyasarkha Vattay”, has been booked for domestic violence along with his family members. The case was registered at Baramati City Police Station based on a complaint filed by his wife.
The accused include Sankalp Gole, his mother Shobha Aajabrao Gole, father Aajabrao Maruti Gole, and sisters Samiksha Aajabrao Gole and Dikshita Swapnil Jadhav. The alleged incidents occurred over the course of a year, from February 5, 2023, to February 21, 2024.
The couple tied the knot on February 5, 2023, in Kalaj village of Phaltan, Satara district. The complainant stated that the first month of their marriage was smooth, but issues began to arise shortly afterward.
The wife alleged that Sankalp started coming home intoxicated, accusing her of inappropriate behavior, and claiming she was chatting with others. He reportedly criticized her household abilities and demanded that she shut her medical shop in Baramati and open one in Pune. She claimed that Sankalp assaulted her physically, verbally abused her, and pressured her for a divorce.
The mother-in-law, Shobha Gole, allegedly berated her for speaking up and demanded ten tolas of gold jewelry to fund the wedding of her daughter, Samiksha. The father-in-law, Aajabrao Gole, allegedly demanded ₹10 lakh from her parents to establish a medical shop in Pune, while subjecting her to physical and mental harassment, including depriving her of food.
The sisters-in-law, Samiksha and Dikshita, reportedly added to the verbal and mental abuse, threatening and intimidating the complainant regularly. The complaint also states that in February 2024, the in-laws forcibly took her jewelry and expelled her from the marital home. Left with no other option, the complainant sought refuge at her sister’s house in Baramati.
Baramati City Police have filed a case under relevant sections of domestic violence and are conducting further investigations into the matter.
