Recently, he got embroiled in a controversy when Pankaja accused him of making obscene remarks about her while he was addressing a political rally in Veeda village on October 17. Later, an FIR was registered against unidentified persons for editing his speech with criminal intent.
The FIR was lodged on Sunday evening following a police complaint filed by local NCP leader Walmik Karad, an official said.
In his complaint, Karad said they suspect the role of BJP's social media handlers behind the edited clip.
Based on the complaint, the Parli police lodged an FIR against unidentified persons under Indian Penal Code Sections 469 (forgery to harm reputation of any party), 34 (common intention) and provisions of the Information Technology Act.
Karad in his complaint alleged that Dhananjay Munde's main speech at an election rally here was "distorted" with an attempt to "character assassinate" him.
In the last election, Pankaja won the Parli seat by a margin of over 2.5 lakh votes.
