Patiala, November 3: A widow from Ghanaur has claimed “threat to her life and children” after she pressed charges of rape and cheating against SAD leader Harvinder Singh Harpalpur (in pic).
The police on Thursday registered an FIR pertaining to rape, cheating and conspiracy against Harpalpur. He is a nephew of MP Prem Singh Chandumajra and cousin of MLA from Sanaur Harinderpal Singh Chandumajra.
The victim has alleged the accused is threatening her. As per the FIR, the 40-year-old victim, who is uneducated and got 13 bighas of land in Ghanaur village after the death of her husband, wanted to get the land transferred to her. “Former sarpanch of Baghora village Jasvir Singh and Harpalpur took my thumb impression on some documents on the pretext of getting my work done,” reads the FIR.
“Once I gave the documents with my thumb impression to them, they asked for sexual favours to get the work done. When I denied their offer, they refused to return my documents, following which I accepted the demand,” the victim alleged.
Harpalpur termed the allegations baseless and “politically motivated”.
