Is Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad a Habitual Offender?

This is not apparently the first time that Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad has got on the wrong side of law.

My Neta, the portal which provides criminal and financial background information on candidates, lists nearly a dozen charges, from culpable homicide to rioting to criminal intimidation that have been filed against the MP from Maharashtra's Osmanabad.
