BSP MLA accused of rape goes missing

Lucknow: A day after Mayawati's government gave clearance to the Uttar Pradesh police to arrest BSP MLA Purushottam Naresh Dwivedi, accused of raping a minor girl, he went missing. The UP police admits the MLA is on the run. There is still no word on his whereabouts and arrest.



Chief Minister Mayawati summoned officials of the Crime Branch and CID who are investigating the case.


A preliminary inquiry by the CB-CID into the Banda rape case found that Dwivedi had raped the teenager and framed her in a false theft case. The girl is still behind the bars.


She appeared before civil judge junior division Ravi Kumar Gupta and had alleged in her statement that Dwivedi raped her twice while his aides teased her, prosecution sources said.


She also alleged that no action was taken against Dwivedi as police was conniving with the MLA and his aides. The girl had given a similar statement to a three-member team of National Commission of Women (NCW).
