Police officer alleges sexual abuse by woman MLA

Patna, April 30
A police officer has accused Bihar Congress legislator Sunita Devi of forcing him to have sex with her for two years. The legislator has denied the charge by her former bodyguard.

Bal Yogeshwar Sharma has lodged a complaint at the Kotwali police station here, charging her with sexual exploitation. He alleged that Sunita Devi began exploiting him from 2006, a police official said. The legislator forced him to sleep with her, he said. This, he alleged, continued for some two years, causing him mental and physical torture. He said she threatened to have him sacked if he did not cooperate.

"I have evidence such as photos and letters written by her," Sharma, now posted in Patna, told a television channel.

Sunita Devi, who is in her 40s, refuted Sharma's allegations. "There is no truth in them," Sunita Devi told IANS, adding that the policeman was trying to blackmail her.

Sunita Devi is the Congress legislator from Korha assembly seat in Katihar district, about 180 km from here. — PTI
