RJD MLA Raj Ballabh Yadav, who has been accused of raping a minor, was today suspended from the party.

The complainant, a resident of Bihar Sharif, said that she was taken by her neighbour Sulekha Devi and her daughter to the MLAs house. The incident reportedly happened on February 6. After she was raped, the girl said the woman gave her Rs 30,000. She then went home and spoke about the incident to her parents who approached police.

An arrest order was also issued against Yadav after a minor girl filed a complaint of abduction and rape against him, police had said.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (Patna Range) Shalin told the media here that police have issued an arrest order against Yadav after the charges seemed to be true based on evidence and the girl's statement.

"Police have begun investigation in the case and action would be taken against Yadav on the basis of the victim's statement. She has identified the place and him (Yadav)," Shalin said.
