Police have registered a case against a Jharkhand Congress MLA following complaints from a 14-year-old Adivasi girl, reported Indian Express. The girl said the legislator promised her schooling but instead forced her into domestic work at his Ranchi residence.
She alleged he sexually assaulted her in August, threatened her into silence, and compelled her to terminate her pregnancy. The MLA denies wrongdoing, calling it a conspiracy by rival Congress figures. The BJP has demanded his arrest and warned of statewide agitation if action isn't taken quickly. Congress says it will wait for investigation findings before deciding the MLA's fate.
