Distressed
over the arrest of an Uttar Pradesh law student, who had accused former MP,
Chinmayanand, of rape, the Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday
alleged the ruling BJP for doing unjust against the victim.
Vadra
alleged that the state police had deliberately delayed action against the
politician and arrested him only after an uproar.
The
victim, a 23-year-old woman, had alleged that the former BJP MP sexually
assaulted her for over a year. She was arrested by the UP police, who had
charged her with extortion, criminal intimidation and "disappearance of
evidence", on Wednesday. Her request for bail was denied by a court
yesterday. Her fresh petition for bail will be heard next month.
The
BJP MP, Chinmayanand was arrested on Friday, though he was released in bail. He
has claimed heart ailments and has been in hospital, "under
observation", since Monday.
In
a tweet Vadra said, “Even the charge of rape has not been put on the accused
BJP leader. This is BJP's justice?”
She
though compared the case with the Unnao rape case against UP lawmaker Kuldeep
Singh Sengar. The Unnao survivor, who had alleged that Sengar raped her, is in
hospital since July after a truck with blackened number plate rammed her car.
