Authorities in Maharashtra’s Amravati district have demolished illegal portions of a house linked to a 19-year-old man, Ayaan Shaikh alias Ayan Ahmed Tanveer, accused of s*xually assaulting minors and blackmailing them using explicit videos. The action was carried out by the Achalpur Municipal Council in Paratwada city, with a heavy police presence at the site.

Officials said the demolition targeted unauthorised structures at the residence, including an external staircase used to access the upper floor. The civic body had previously issued a notice regarding the encroachment before taking action. Local authorities conducted the operation under security deployment, and public representatives were present during the process.

According to investigators, the accused allegedly lured minors through social media platforms and took some victims to cities such as Mumbai and Pune. Police claim he recorded hundreds of explicit videos, which were later used to blackmail victims. Authorities are examining whether the material was shared further and if more individuals were involved in the alleged network. TCS Nashik Case: Tata Sons Launches Group-Wide Workplace Conduct Review, Says Report.

Police have arrested multiple suspects in connection with the case, including an alleged associate. Officials said some of the accused have confessed during questioning, while digital evidence, including mobile phones, is being analysed. The accused has been remanded to police custody as investigators continue to gather evidence and identify potential additional victims.

Reports had suggested that the accused was previously associated with the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). However, party representatives have denied any current affiliation, stating that he had been removed earlier due to non-performance.
