Banda rape: CBI files case against BSP MLA
TNN | Sep 23, 2011, 01.40AM IST
NEW DELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Thursday registered
a case against BSP MLA Purushottam Dwivedi and four others in the
alleged rape of a minor Dalit girl in Banda district of Uttar Pradesh
in December last year.
The Supreme Court had on September 12 directed the investigating
agency to take over the probe into the case as allegations were
levelled that Dwivedi being a ruling party MLA used his influence in
the administration to dilute the probe. "On the directions of Supreme
Court of India, the Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a
case against a Uttar Pradesh MLA and four other private persons under
various sections of IPC. The case was earlier registered by the local
police and was later investigated by CB-CID of UP," CBI spokesperson
Dharini Mishra said.
The sections relate to rape, assault for outraging the modesty of a
woman, voluntarily causing hurt, intentional insult and criminal
intimidation.
The 17-year-old Dalit girl was allegedly raped by Dwivedi in Banda on
December 10 and 11 last year. The girl had escaped from his residence
on December 12 when the MLA allegedly attempted to rape her again. The
girl, however, was arrested after allegedly false charges of theft
were levelled by the legislator's brother against her.
48-year-old Dwivedi, who was later arrested from Banda and suspended
by Mayawati's party, denied all the charges. The apex court had passed
the order on a PIL filed by advocates Raja Ram and Irudaya Nathan
seeking an independent probe into the incident, alleging that
impartial investigation was not possible in the case as the ruling BSP
legislator and his aides were involved.
