FIR Filed Against BJP MLA Harish Shakya in Badaun: A Looming Controversy
An FIR has been lodged against Harish Shakya, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from the Bilsi assembly constituency in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, along with 16 others on serious charges, including rape, fraud, and threats. This development follows a court order issued after a villager’s complaint regarding extortion and intimidation.
The Allegations: A Disturbing Account
According to reports from the Hindustan Times, the FIR details allegations that Shakya and his aides gang-raped a villager’s wife at his camp office on September 17. The FIR also points to claims of extensive fraud amounting to crores, as well as threats made against the victims.
Court Order Triggers Investigation
The order for the FIR came from Leela Chaudhary, an additional chief judicial magistrate and special judge of the MP/MLA court in Badaun. Following the complaint, the district police chief Brijesh Kumar Singh confirmed that Inspector Manoj Kumar Singh of the Civil Lines police station will lead the ongoing investigation.
Land Dispute at the Center of the Controversy
The crux of the issue appears to revolve around land owned by the villager. The complaint alleges that Shakya and his aides coerced the villager and his family into selling their land below market value. When the family resisted, they reportedly faced threats to their lives.
Next Steps and Implications
As investigations unfold, the BJP MLA has yet to issue an official statement regarding these grave allegations. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for Shakya’s political career and the BJP’s reputation in the region.
