Daughter accuses Bihar MLA of molestation

Daughter accuses Bihar MLA of molestation
By Giridhar Jha in Patna
A BHARATIYA Janata Party legislator has been accused by his daughter of attempting to outrage her modesty in Aurangabad district while another girl was killed and then raped by her father in Patna. In a written complaint to the police, Kamala Devi, 32, alleged that her father, Aurangabad MLA Ramadhar Singh, tried to rape her on Holi day. Kamala is the president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal's district women's cell, but she insists that there is no politics behind it. In her complaint, Kamala said she met her father near Dabura More who asked her to sit in his white Scorpio. " As soon as I sat in the vehicle, he started threatening and abusing me," she alleged. She said her father misbehaved with her and attempted to rape her but she raised an alarm and somehow managed to escape. The police are investigating into the matter. Reports said Kamala had launched a relentless campaign against her father and had levelled many allegations against him in the last one year. This was the first time, however, that she had hurled such a personal slur on her father. Sources said Kamala's husband, Arun Kumar, was recently named as a suspect in a murder case in which a local BJP leader's kin was allegedly involved. She reportedly suspected her father's hand in it and her charges could be motivated by that incident. The legislator brushed aside his daughter's allegations saying it was the fallout of a political rivalry. " How can a father do such a thing to his daughter?" Singh asked. Krishna Sao from Naubatpur in Patna district, however, did worse; he killed his daughter in a fit of rage and then raped her. In a confessional statement to the police, Sao said that his school- going daughter was in love with a youth named Dhananjay and refused to end the relationship despite his warnings. Sao said on March 17, he got so angry that he strangled her to death and then raped her. The police said Sao disposed of her body and then reported that she had been kidnapped. But there were inconsistencies in his statements. The police took him in custody and he confessed to his crime. Sao is already an accused in another murder case. In another incident at Bansi Batranha village in Gopalganj district, a man chopped off the nose of his nine- year- old daughter to offer it to the goddess as part of a tantric ritual. The police have arrested Swaminath Baitha and sent him to jail. The girl was admitted in a critical condition to the local hospital where the doctors referred her to Gorakhpur hospital. giridhar. jha@ mailtoday. in
