Relatives of jailed MLA ask Mayawati to intervene in Banda rape case
2011-01-24 19:40:00
Relatives and supporters of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA Purushottam
Naresh Dwivedi, who is currently in prison on charges of raping a
minor Dalit girl on Monday asked Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati
to intervene into the matter, and said that the complaint against him
is a conspiracy.
Dwivedi's son Mayank said they were not satisfied with the probe
carried out by the CB-CID (Crime Branch of Criminal Investigation
Department).
"Firstly, the CB-CID (Crime Branch of Criminal Investigation
Department) is doing one-sided investigation. Secondly, no medical
test or DNA test of my father has been done, and the CB-CID is filing
the charge-sheet and thirdly, the medical test of Sheelu does not
support any incident of rape, but still the CB-CID are putting false
allegations. What does it mean? We are not satisfied with the
investigations," said Mayank.
"We want that BehenJi (Mayawati) should carry out a judicial probe on
her level. Reliable people who are not related to her party should
carry out the probe. People of the girl's village should be
interrogated; people who were in contact with the girl should be
interrogated. People who BehenJi relies on should carry out the
investigation and that report should be submitted to BehenJi," he
added.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Thursday said the Bahujan
Samaj Party (BSP) Government led by her is taking the Banda rape case
"very seriously", and added that strict action will be initiated
against those who have taken the law into their hands.
"We took the matter very Banda matter seriously and got it
investigated by the CID immediately. You all know that once CB-CID
report was released strict action was taken," said Mayawati.
"The Jailor of Banda prison Gyan Prakash and Additional SP Banda Lala
Ram have been suspended and departmental proceedings have been
initiated against them," she added.
The girl was allegedly raped on December 10-11 at Dwivedi's residence.
She escaped from the MLA's house on December 12, when he allegedly
attempted to rape her for the third time and charged her with theft.he
Chief Judicial Magistrate of Banda has sent Dwivedi to 14 days of
judicial custody.
The MLA, who was on the run after orders for his arrest were issued,
was taken into custody on January 13.
The investigating officials, who conducted the preliminary inquiry,
have found that Dwivedi had raped the teenager and framed her in a
false theft case. (ANI)
