New Delhi: The AAP rubbished the charges that its Okhla MLA Amanantullah Khan allegedly misbehaved with a woman and instead on Saturday claimed that Delhi Police “pressurised” the woman to give false statement against its legislator.
On July 19, an FIR was registered against a youth under sections 506 and 509 of IPC at Jamia Nagar police station based on a complaint filed by the woman, a resident of Jasola. The FIR also states that on July 9, while she had gone to the MLA’s house to complain about power cut in the area, at the behest of Khan, a 22-year-old youth allegedly threatened to get her raped and killed.
She had also made a written complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner on July 10 regarding this matter. In a news conference the party played a video, in which the woman is purportedly involved in a conversation with a person in which she is heard saying “that the SHO of the Jamia Nagar Police Station had asked her to add allegations of getting her raped and killed in the FIR.”
Khan also claimed that the woman has also given a “false” statement before a magistrate that he (Khan) also tried to crush her under his car. “The woman is in touch with several BJP leaders and she was also taken to the magistrate by a lawyer affiliated to the party.
“The video also states that the police asked her to file the complaint. The allegations of rape have also been added at the behest of the police as an FIR would not have been possible otherwise,” Khan said.
The Okhla legislator also said that he was in Meerut from July 9 and 10 while his children were holidaying in Kashmir on the date, the dates on which the woman claims to have come to his residence. (PTI)
