Bhopal, Feb 2 : In an ironical situation, Congress MLA Hemant Katare was on Friday booked for rape, illegal confinement and other charges, levelled against him by a girl, who herself was behind the bars, on the alleged charges of blackmailing the MLA.
According to police sources, DIG Dharmendra Chaudhary ordered to file a rape case against the Ater (Bhind) MLA after the 21-year-old girl filed a written complaint.
The case came to limelight on January 24, when Katare complained that a girl was trying to extort Rs 2-crore from him by threatening to frame him in a false rape and attempted suicide case.
The crime branch arrested the girl, a journalism student from Rachna Nagar area of the city, soon after she collected money from Katare.
After her arrest, a series of videos surfaced on the social media, defying Katare’s statement given to the police in his complaint.
