Rahil Javed Sheikh is the son of Raj Thackeray-led party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)'s senior leader Javed Shaikh. Rahil recently became embroiled in a roadside incident in Mumbai, and has been detained by the Mumbai Police.
The MNS worker's son, who was half-naked, and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, allegedly misbehaved with Marathi influencer and actress Rajshree More after he rammed his car into her vehicle. A viral video of the incident also shows Rahil Shaikh charging at Rajshree, daring her to file a complaint.
"Go and tell the cops I am Javed Shaikh's son, then you'll see what happens," the MNS leader's son, who was half-naked and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, said in Marathi to the influencer.
In the viral video, Rajshree More also shows the ID card of Javed Sheikh, which she had got from the accused.

Following the incident with Javed Sheikh's son, the Marathi influencer lodged a complaint at Mumbai's Ambroli Police Station.
The Mumbai Police detained Rahil Javed Sheikh for medical examination, and his car was also taken into custody for further investigation, officials told ANI on Monday, July 7.
Rahil Javed Sheikh's incident with the Marathi influencer isn't the first time that MNS workers have come under the scanner.
Last week, a MNS worker allegedly assaulted an elderly North Indian restaurant owner on Mumbai's Mira Road for not speaking in Marathi, reigniting the language debate.
The video of the assault also went viral on social media.
In the viral video, three men, allegedly MNS workers, were seen engaging in a heated debate with the owner. As the argument got more frenzied, the men began slapping the vendor.
