<p>In a new twist in the case involving NCP leader Dhananjay Munde, senior BJP leader Krishna Hegde on Thursday alleged that the woman who made allegations of rape against his politician colleague was forcing him to have a relationship.</p>.<p>“Renu Sharma has been calling me, messaging me and coaxing me since 2010 to have a relationship with her,” said Hegde, a former Congress MLA from Mumbai.</p>.<p>“This harassment went on to the point of stalking. Through my sources I found out that she is a dubious person who is setting up a honey trap. I totally avoided meeting her,” said Hegde, who is currently the Mumbai BJP vice president.</p>.<p>“Through my sources I found out that she is a dubious person who is setting up a honey trap. I totally avoided meeting her. I am informed that few more people have been honey-trapped and money has been extorted. The Mumbai Police should kindly investigate this,” Hegde said in his formal complaint to Amboli police station.</p>.<p>“The harassment, messages and phone calls continued till 2015 but I studiously avoided meeting her.
