After BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, another BJP leader Kanhaiya Lal Mishra, close to the party state President Dr Mahendra Nath Pandey, was arrested on Tuesday in Varanasi for allegedly raping a woman.
Mishra was former BJP District Presidet Bhadohi and was introduced to the victim five months ago. Mishra had promised to get her a government job. On the BJP leader’s invitation, she had come to Varanasi on Monday and was residing in Pandeypur with a relative.
On Tuesday morning, Mishra called her up for a meeting for getting her a job. He took her to a Guest House in Sigra area of Varanasi. The BJP leader booked a room in his name after submitting his identity documents and introduced the victim as his daughter.
He then took the victim inside the room on the pretext of calling the officer in the Guest House room for a meeting to get her a government job. “I waited for half an hour in the room. Suddenly he grabbed me and pulled me down on the bed and raped me,” charged the woman.
The woman then raised an alarm and hotel employees forced the door opened. “We were shocked to find a half undressed Netaji raping the woman, who,” said one of the Guest House employee.
The Guest Manager immediately dialed the police control room. The police took Mishra and the lady to the Sigra Police Station where the woman lodged a complaint alleging rape by the BJP leader.
“We have lodged an FIR under Section 376 of the IPC and arrested Mishra. Investigations are on and the woman is being sent for the medical examination to confirm her charges,” said Dinesh Kumar, Superintendent of Police, Varanasi.
Soon after the arrest, a number of BJP leaders gathered at the Sigra Police Station pressing for the release of the arrested party leader, believed to be close to the party State President Dr Mahendra Nath Pandey. His pictures with Dr Pandey are also going viral on social media with the news of rape.
