Fathered Bhanwari Devi’s child,Malkhan tells court

Accusing CBI of framing Malkhan Singh Bishnoi in the Bhanwari Devi murder case,his counsel on Wednesday told a CBI court that the MLA was “in love” with the nurse with whom he had sired a daughter and she was not blackmailing him as he was paying for the child’s expenses.

“Bhanwari never blackmailed him. She even went to the holy shrine in Ajmer to offer ‘Chadar’ when Bishnoi became MLA and he also went to the hospital to express his delight when Bhanwari gave birth to the daughter,which was a clear indication that he had accepted her as their daughter,” the counsel for Bishnoi told the court during the trial in Bhanwari Devi abduction and murder case.

Bishnoi’s counsel Hemant Nahata argued that the CBI has framed him as ties between Bishnoi and Bhanwari were not strained.
