A Maharashtra minister is likely to step down after his name emerged in a TikTok star’s suicide case. Former Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadavnis had demanded that the death of TikTok star Pooja Chavan in Pune should be investigated after the alleged phone conversation between her and Sanjay Rathod became viral.
Pooja Chavan allegedly committed suicide by jumping off a building in Pune on 8 February. Pooja, 22, was allegedly pregnant. The issue also heated up across the state as ten to twelve clips of Rathod allegedly talking to Pooja had gone viral.
Sources say that Rathod is likely to step down as minister and has sought time from CM Uddhav Thackeray to present his case.
