Dalit girl accuses BSP legislator in UP of rape
Lucknow:
A Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) legislator joined the lengthening list of
party MLAs facing charges of rape, kidnapping, land grabbing and even
murder.
A dalit girl has accused Bahujan Samaj Party legislator from
Shahjahanpur, about 175 km from here, Neeraj Maurya of abducting and
raping her and also claimed that she had a 10-month child from the
legislator.
The girl, Sakshi Soni, a resident of Mauzampur village in the
district, has levelled the allegations in an affidavit filed in the
court of Judicial Magistrate Parul Pawar, according to reports.
In her affidavit, which was filed in the court a few days back, the
girl has alleged that Maurya's goons had abducted her from a field
near her village about 18 months back and took her to the legislator's
house at Jalalabad in the district, where she was raped by Maurya and
some others.
The family of the girl had lodged a report with the police when she
was abducted and suspected the role of the MLA but the police, instead
of booking the MLA, arrested some one else and also filed a charge
sheet against him in the court.
The dalit girl alleged that she was released by her abductors in December last.
"We had approached the police on many occasions seeking to register a
case against the MLA and his goons but our pleas fell on deaf ears,"
Harsahai Soni, her father, said.
He also alleged that Maurya called him many times and threatened him
with dire consequences if he approached the police.
The girl then approached the court seeking a direction to the police
to book the MLA and some others for rape and abduction.
Several member of legislative assembly of the ruling Bahujan Samaj
Party have faced charges of abductions, rape and murder in the past.
Chief Minister Mayawati has also taken action against some of them.
In the past few days, four ministers have been sacked after being
indicted by the Lokayukta for land grabbing, amassing huge wealth and
also indulging in criminal activities.
Bahujan Samaj Party legislator from Budaon Yogendra Sagar is also
facing charges of abduction and rape while another party MLA Guddu
Pandit was charged with stalking a research scholar after she insisted
on marrying him and threatened to expose him.
