A woman MLC of Bihar was on Tuesday involved in a controversy following allegations by a Wipro engineer that she was molested by a gunner of the politician in the Delhi-bound Rajdhani Express. The victim also accused Jyoti Singh,the MLC,of threatening her and using abusive words against her.
I took seat number 498230; Two persons came around 2.30 am,they started teasing me, she said. She alleged that the woman politician exhorted her henchmen to throw her out of the train.
She was literally telling others that she is Jyoti,that is why she is not doing anything,had she been Pappu Yadav or Anand Mohan,and had it been their bodyguards,they would have insulted me and thrown me out of train, the victim told reporters.
Jyoti Singh,however,denied the charge and claimed it was the girl who assaulted her. It was a political conspiracy,she said.
The victim recounted how the MLC allegedly tried to bully her by asking her men to take out the gun to teach her a lesson.
She literally said abhi revolver nikal ke lao abhi isko marungi,abhi isko jaan se marungi,abhi isse train se bahar phenk dungi,koi isse puchega bhi nahi bring a revolver,I would kill her just now,I will finish her,I will throw her out of the train,nobody would bother to ask her, the victim alleged. Meanwhile,the passengers on the train demanded immediate arrest of the MLC.
