That does make sense. Rakshit's dad was under Pishachini's spell when Rakshit saw them together. And just to make Mahima believe on his extramarital affair, she abducted him and the family thinks he left them for Pi. Shikhar knows that Rakshit's father was innocent and is probably helping Pi so that at the end of the deal, she will return Rakshit's father without harm. But then there's another question - what was the secret of Shikhar that Pi knows? 😕
