BJP lawmaker's wife wants narco test on him

BJP MLA Mahesh Negi's wife told police in Uttarakhand that her husband and the woman who accused him of sexually exploiting her should take a narco analysis test.

Dehradun (Uttarakhand):Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Mahesh Negi's wife has requested Uttarakhand police to conduct narco test on her husband and the woman who accused him of sexually exploiting her, police said on Sunday.

According to the police, the request was made in a letter from the MLA's wife.

"A request letter to conduct a narco test on MLA and victim woman has been received from Negi's wife. The statement of the victim woman's husband is yet to be recorded. We have also received letters from the women's commission and Child Protection Rights Commission (CPRC). We are investigating the matter from all possible angles," Anuj Kumar, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) and Investigating Officer on the case told ANI.

Meanwhile, the Uttarakhand unit of Congress party has decided to stage protests at its district headquarters alleging that police have not recorded the statement of the victim yet. However, police said that "Victim woman's complaint letter has been included in the investigation."

Earlier, a woman had alleged that the BJP MLA Negi from Uttarakhand had sexually exploited her for two years and demanded that her daughter's DNA sample should be matched with that of the MLA.

The woman, who levelled the allegation, had previously released a video in which she said that the MLA had a physical relationship with her for two years. She had also said that her daughter's DNA sample should be matched with that of the MLA as it does not match that of her husband.
