A woman leader has filed a rape case against Sitapur Congress MP Rakesh Rathore. The victim also gave the call recording to the police as electronic evidence. The MP has also been accused of threatening.
An audio clip of the woman leader and MP Rathore surfaced late Saturday night. In the audio clip, the woman leader is asking the MP to fulfill the promises made by him. The woman said – I am not a ‘bazaaru’, you had promised marriage.
On the other hand, the MP says that SP Chakrash Mishra has hatched a conspiracy against me. Recently, I had exposed the nexus between the police and the land mafia by holding a press conference. I am suffering the consequences of this.
First know the entire incident
A rape case has been registered against Congress MP Rakesh Rathore. A woman leader alleges that the MP promised to marry her. He kept sexually exploiting her for 4 years. On the complaint of the woman, the city Kotwali police has registered a case of rape and death threats against the MP.
According to the victim associated with Tailik Mahasabha, MP Rakesh Rathore also promised her a career in politics. The woman had given a complaint letter to the police on January 15.
SP Chakresh Mishra said- The victim has expressed apprehension of danger to life and property. Keeping this in mind, a gunner has been provided to her for security. Security has also been provided at the residence. Further action is being taken by the police in the matter.
Woman – Hello-Hello who is speaking?
MP – Rakesh speaking, whose number is it? Okay yes.
Woman – What did you think then?
MP – Okay, whose number is it? What happened to the old number?
Woman – Hey, I dialed from many numbers, I don’t have a phone, that phone is locked in the room.
MP – It is locked?
Woman – What did you think then? Tell me, my health is very bad.
MP – Whatever you say, we will do it. This is what I have thought.
Woman – For so many days, whatever you used to say, we used to do it. You had said that you will marry me, I am not such a prostitute.
MP – Are we saying this?
Woman – I have been in so much trouble. I made so many phone calls.
MP – We came to you.
Woman – We also know how you came. We somehow managed to come out of the house and you consoled us like children and sent us back.
MP – You are not understanding. We are thinking that whatever path is made should be made in a respectable way. So that obstacles in life do not arise immediately.
Woman – We have been telling you for so long, but you have not been able to make a path yet.
MP – The path has been made. We are not denying you, but as this incident happened suddenly, this issue has come up for you, so we are also thinking about its path immediately.
Woman – You are attending all the programs. How have we been here for 5 days, we have told you what all has happened. We have to be open in front of everyone.
MP – There is a reason for organizing so many programs. Leave us to our own wits. What can we say now about the promises we made. We are not going back on our word.
MP – Can we not talk on that number at night now?
Woman – When Madam was repeatedly asking, what’s the matter.. what’s the matter.. you were not able to say two words. You were running here and there in front of her.
MP – We were not running. We were confused. We were making the arrangements right, because there was a crowd of people outside. We were telling people to wait a little… it’s a family matter.. and the police station was also looking after them. You are taking everything negatively that we were running.
Woman – All this came in front of our relatives and children and it was completely revealed. You would have said in front of Neelam aunty… we have a relationship. Brother, we have physical relations for 5 years, we will get married, you should have said it immediately.
MP – You are talking on his phone, should he put the recording now?
Woman – There is no recording, there is no recording, if there was, we would not have called.
MP – We are not denying anything. We have also told our children that whenever needed, we will stand with full respect.
Woman – Will you marry me because I have begged for votes for you, so will you marry me. For 5 years, you and I loved each other a lot and were also having physical relations. And you also used to say that we will get married and the day you say, we will get married.
MP – Yes, even today we stand by this.
Woman – So first you divorce her, only then you will marry me. Only then will you make me your wife. In this way, other people without a relationship can also cast an evil eye on us.
Rakesh Rathore was elected from Sitapur as a BJP candidate in the 2017 elections. In May 2021, several audio clips of his private conversations were leaked. In which he was strongly criticizing the government. Especially on the response to the Corona epidemic. He was also complaining about casteist tendencies within the party.
From BJP to SP, then joined Congress
After leaving BJP, Rakesh Rathore turned to SP. However, SP did not give him a ticket in the 2022 assembly elections. After this, Rakesh Rathore met Rahul Gandhi and joined Congress. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Rakesh Rathore won an unexpected victory by defeating 4-time MP Rajesh Verma by a margin of 90 thousand votes.
Rakesh Rathore’s office posted a post on social media regarding the matter. In which it was written – A case has been registered against Sitapur MP Rakesh Rathore under several sections. A conspiracy has been hatched to tarnish the image of the MP under a political conspiracy.
SP wants to win the Milkipur by-election by getting the support of PDA, Brahmin votes and the people who are angry with BJP. The party is working on this strategy. At the same time, SP is also playing mind games to ensure that BJP does not adopt the Rampur and Kundarki model here.
SP chief Akhilesh Yadav is claiming that if there is a fair election, no one can defeat his party. He is appealing to the media not to praise and show his strength. On the other hand, by calling the Milkipur election the biggest election in the history of by-elections in the country, he is inviting media from not only the country but the world.
