A Congress leader in Bihar has been booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for allegedly molesting a minor Dalit girl and also running a sex racket.
The girl happens to be the daughter of a two-time Congress MLA.
The girl was still a minor on December 22 last year when she first lodged a complaint against automobile businessman Nikhil Priyadarshi, his brother Manish Priyadarshi and friend Sanjeet Kumar. Later, she also named the State vice-president of the Congress, Brajesh Pandey, for outraging her modesty at Nikhil Priyadarshi’s flat in Patna.
Mr. Pandey had unsuccessfully contested the last Assembly elections from Govindganj constituency in East Champaran.
