Prince Raj is among the five LJP MPs who have rebelled against Chirag Paswan, his cousin. According to reports, the woman has filed a complaint with the Connaught Place Police in Delhi against Raj.
The LJP crisis has taken a new turn as a woman has allegedly accused Prince Raj, an LJP parliamentarian of sexual assault.
The woman has allegedly lodged a complaint with the Connaught Place Police in Delhi against Prince Raj, cousin of Chirag Paswan. According to sources, she has lodged a 3-page complaint on June 15.
Prince Raj is among the five LJP MPs who have rebelled against Chirag Paswan, his cousin. On Tuesday, Chirag shared a six-page letter on his Twitter handle written to his uncle and Hajipur MP Pashupati Kumar Paras on March 29, in which he referred to the issue.
Police sources said that a case has not been registered as of now. "The police is verifying the allegations against the Lok Sabha MP and after the outcome a case will be registered," the source said.
Chirag, who faced a coup by his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras, cousin Prince Raj and three other MPs, had shared the six-page letter on his Twitter handle on Tuesday.
In the letter dated March 29 to his uncle, Chirag had mentioned about the complaint of sexual molestation by a woman party worker against Prince Raj.
Meanwhile Chirag Paswan, fighting for survival after a coup in the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) led by his uncle, said Wednesday that he was ready for a legal fight against the rebel group, declaring that he was "the son of Ram Vilas Paswan, a sher ka bachcha".
Addressing his first press conference since the crisis exploded, the sidelined LJP leader also defended decisions like contesting the Bihar election separately from the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, which was one of the reasons for his feud with his uncle Pashupati Kumar Paras.
"Today (Wednesday) I have become an orphan after my uncle left me. Not when I lost my father," said Paswan Junior, in comments that oscillated between tough and emotional.
"When I was ill, the plan (coup) was made and executed by others."
Pashupati Paras and four other MPs on Monday broke away and asked the Speaker to recognize them as a separate group, leaving Chirag Paswan, their leader, alone in what was a group of six MPs in the Lok Sabha.
