The Shiv Sena today came out in support of senior Indian Police Service officer Sunil Paraskar, who has been accused of rape by a Mumbai-based model.

In an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamna, the Shiv Sena asked whether it has become fashionable these days to level rape charges. "Today, has it become a fashion to level rape charges? This question is now in people's minds," the party said, writing on the case involving DIG Paraskar.

The editorial questions the six-month delay in filing of the case.

The Congress has demanded an apology from the Sena.
