Trouble for Congress in Rajasthan after minor alleges rape by MLA's son
Jaipur/IBNS: A 15-year-old girl has been raped in Rajasthan's Dausa district, allegedly by the son of a Congress MLA triggering trouble for the party, media reports said.
In her complaint to the police, the girl has named Deepak Meena, the son of Johari Lal Meena, the MLA from Rajgarh and Alwar.
In the FIR filed on March 20, the girl alleged that she was taken to a hotel last year, where she was drugged and then raped.
The girl also claimed that she was blackmailed later and had to pay cash and jewellery to the tune of ₹ 15 lakh.
The men had threatened to upload her compromising photos on social media, the victim alleged.
No one has been arrested in connection with the case, though a First Information Report has been filed and investigations are on, reports said.
The naming of the son of a Congress MLA has come as a huge embarrassment to the Ashok Gehlot government where the party already struggles to avoid political controversy.
