Varanasi: Taking note of the complaint of the brother of jailed Ghosi MP Atul Rai, the chief judicial magistrate (CJM) court on Monday ordered the Cantt police to lodge an FIR against the girl, who had levelled rape charges against Atul Rai and her friend Satyam Prakash Rai, so that the documents submitted by her in different cases are properly investigated. Atul Rai’s brother Pavan Kumar Singh has alleged that the girl, who lodged a rape case against the Ghosi MP and her friend, runs a honeytrap racket. In support of his claim, Pavan submitted copies of two marksheets of the girl which contain different dates of birth and attached in her complaints lodged against Atul Rai and another case lodged against a student leader of UP College in 2015.
Pavan’s lawyer Anuj Yadav said: “The complaint against the girl and her friend Satyam Prakash Rai had been given before CJM SP Yadav under section 156(3) of CRPC. Pavan alleged that in 2015 the same girl had lodged a case of sexual harassment against a student leader of UP College with Shivpur police and also submitted her HS marksheet which contained her date of birth as March 10, 1997.”
In the complaint, Yadav said, she had submitted her HS marksheet, which contained her date of birth as June 10, 1997. “Pavan alleged that on the basis of fake documents, the girl had been trying to take legal advantages,” said Yadav adding, “the CJM court accepted this complaint and ordered Cantt police to produce copy of FIR after it is lodged.”
A week after filing nomination from Ghosi parliamentary constituency as BSP candidate on April 26, 2019 Atul Rai had landed in troubled waters when a Ballia girl lodged a rape complaint against him with Lanka police in Varanasi on May 2.
