Satara
(Maharashtra): Two more women have accused Marathi
writer Laxman Mane of raping them, police said Thursday. Earlier,
three women alleged he had sexually assaulted them.
Mane is absconding since he was booked Tuesday on the allegations
of the three women working in a school run by him in Jakatwadi
village in Satara district, around 250 km from Mumbai.
"Of the two new complainants who came forward late Wednesday, one
is a cook and the other was a peon in the school. Mane is
absconding and police teams are investigating the matter," an
officer from Taluka Police Station told IANS.
Mane, 63, a former Maharashtra legislative council member, has now
been charged with raping five women working at his residential
school for tribal children in Satara.
Mane was honoured with a Padma Shri by the central government four
years ago.
According to police, three married women aged between 30 and 35
Monday alleged that the writer raped them on the pretext of making
them permanent employees of the school.
They claimed that he raped them between 2003 and 2010 in the
school, at his home in Satara and at a guest house in Pune.
After booking Mane for rape, police teams visited his home and
other places, but so far he is untraceable.
Mane's family stoutly denied the allegations and said he was being
framed.
Mane also won the Sahitya Akademi award for his autobiography "Upara"
in 1981.
