Bhubaneswar: Police complaint lodged against Udala MLA Srinath Soren for allegedly raping a woman. Police registered a case in this connection on Monday. The victim has undergone a medical examination.
The 38-year-old woman, in her complaint, alleged that MLA Srinath Soren and his associate Swarup Das raped her on the pretext of returning her the money, which she had given to them to provide her a job.
The incident took place Jan 3 in block headquarters town of Updala, around 230 km from here, but came to light only after police registered a complaint against the legislator and one of his associates Monday evening.
The woman alleged that Srinath Soren, who represents Udala constituency in the state assembly, had taken around Rs.1 lakh from her promising a job some months ago. But as the legislator failed to keep his promise, the woman demanded her money back. After she made repeated requests, the legislator called her to his residence at Udala Jan 3 on the pretext of returning the money. Instead of returning the money, the legislator and one of his associates confined her to a room and allegedly raped her.
