BJP MLA, His Son Barge into UP Police Station, Walk Away With Man Arrested for Eve-teasing
News 18Lucknow: In an incident that has left the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh red faced, especially at a time when it is emphasising on women’s safety and security in the state in the wake of Hathras rape case, a party MLA and his son allegedly took away a man accused of eve-teasing from police custody on Saturday. BJP MLA Lokendra Pratap Singh and his son reportedly reached Mohammadi Police Station in Lakhimpur post midnight along with scores of supporters and created a ruckus over the arrest of a worker in an eve-teasing case. While local police officials are tight lipped about the incident, BJP MLA Lokendra Pratap Singh said over the phone that there was no ruckus on the spot and it was being wrongly propagated to malign his image. Earlier on Friday, a day after an aide of te BJP MLA allegedly was gunned down a man in front of sub-divisional magistrate and circle officer in Ballia district, the BJP legislator from Bairia assembly seat of Ballia, Surendra Singh, came out in defence of accused Dheerendra Singh.
