Jind police have booked Ramniwas Surjakhera, who had recently resigned as Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) MLA from Narwana, for allegedly raping a 28-year-old woman on the pretext of providing her a government job.
The rebel JJP leader had resigned from the assembly as well as party posts last week.
Jind superintendent of police (SP) Sumit Kumar said a case of rape has been registered against Surjakhera at women’s police station and a probe is on to ascertain the allegation levelled against him.
Surjakhera was expected to join the BJP in the presence of Union home minister Amit Shah during a rally in Jind on September 1. He was seeking BJP’s ticket from Narwana reserved in Jind.
As per police sources, the 28-year-old woman from Sonepat district alleged that the Narwana MLA had sexually assaulted her several times while breaching her trust on the pretext of providing a government job. She demanded strict action against Surjakhera.
In a Facebook post, Surjakhera said he has learned from reliable sources that a ‘fake’ rape FIR was registered against him with an intention to weaken him politically.
