In another shocker, a woman in Shahjahanpur district Monday threatened to immolate herself if BJP’s Tilhar MLA Roshan Lal Verma and his son, Manoj were not arrested.

She accused the MLA’s son of raping her in 2012.

However the MLA Verma has denied all charges.

It need be mentioned that the Crime Branch-CID had filed a closure report in the case citing lack of evidence after the police had earlier charged the two with rape and abduction without arresting them.

Officials had to pacify the woman and her father by taking their memorandum and assuring action after they threatened immolation.

She said after that officials have promised to take appropriate action against the MLA and Manoj by May 21.

The woman added that if the police fails to keep the promise, she would not hesitate to immolate herself at the collectorate office.

The woman is also said to have a five-year-old daughter.>
