BJP MP from Gujarat KC Patel has rejected rape charge against him saying he was drugged and filmed in a compromising state by a woman who has demanded five crores from him. On his complaint, the police have filed a case of blackmail and extortion against a woman lawyer of the Supreme Court.
MP from Gujarat’s Valsad has filed a complaint with Delhi Police against a woman and her gang alleging he was honey-trapped and filmed in an objectionable position after being given a spiked drink. Police has launched a massive manhunt to trace the woman and her gang in the alleged case of extortion.
“I have full faith in justice and doodh ka doodh, paani ka paani ho jayega (we will know the truth),” Mr Patel told media adding that he would cooperate fully with the police investigations.
MP has alleged that he was drugged and then filmed by the woman, who later accused him of rape and threatened to upload the video and photos online. He has told the police that the woman asked him for help and had him accompany her to her house in Ghaziabad near Delhi.
The woman has told the police that she was raped by the lawmaker at his official home.
She says she met the politician first on March 3 at the Supreme Court and after that, she was raped by him several times.
According to the police, the woman heads a gang that specialises in honey-trapping high profile people, especially lawmakers after approaching them for help.
The woman had filed a rape case against a Congress lawmaker too last year, in almost similar circumstances. The case was dropped.
The Delhi Police has set up a team to investigate the complaint of Mr Patel, who is from Gujarat and represents the Valsad constituency in parliament.
“A case has been registered, an investigation is on. Action will be taken as per law,” said senior Delhi police officer MK Meena.
