Lucknow: A minor Dalit girl was allegedly kidnapped and raped by a BSP
MLA and then found herself behind bars after the MLA accused her of
stealing from his house in Uttar Pradesh.

The man in question is Purshottam Narain Dwivedi, an MLA from Banda in
Uttar Pradesh.

"My daughter was given Rs 50,000. She was then slapped and handed over
to some men who raped her," said the victim's father.

Dwivedi has denied all the allegations, countering them instead by
saying that he caught the girl stealing clothes and cash from his
house.

"The girl worked in the MLA's house. She ran away after stealing. The
MLA complained and we arrested her," said SP Anil Das.

The victim has refuted this. She claimed that the MLA threatened to
kill her as well.

The opposition Congress has taken up the girl's cause and UP Congress
President Rita Bahuguna Joshi is expected to meet the victim.
