Monalisa Pregnancy Claim Under Verification
The claim was made as Monalisa was scheduled to appear before investigators to record her official statement. Farman Khan told authorities in Khargone that her medical condition prevents her from traveling from Kerala to Madhya Pradesh. According to reports, police are currently verifying the pregnancy claim and may request a formal medical examination before granting further exemptions from the investigation.
Minor Marriage Case
The latest pregnancy claim has emerged at a crucial point in the case, following findings by the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) regarding Monalisa’s age. Acting on a complaint filed by her family, the commission concluded that she was born on December 30, 2009, making her around 16 years old at the time of her reported marriage in March 2026. Based on this determination, an FIR has been registered against Farman Khan in Madhya Pradesh under the POCSO Act (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences). Authorities have also ordered the cancellation of a previously issued birth certificate that incorrectly listed her birth date as January 1, 2008, adding a significant legal dimension to the ongoing case.
Interstate Row Complicates Monalisa Bhosle Case
The case involves multiple jurisdictions, with the marriage having taken place at a temple in Kerala on March 11, 2026. While the Kerala Police initially facilitated the marriage based on adult identity documents provided at the time, the emergence of conflicting birth records from Madhya Pradesh has shifted the legal landscape. Currently, Farman Khan holds interim protection from arrest granted by the Kerala High Court, which is effective until May 20, 2026. The court is continuing to hear the matter while police from both states coordinate to verify identity records and marriage documentation.
