Dhar (MP): Police have registered a case against Madhya Pradesh Congress MLA and former minister Umang Singhar on charges of raping and assaulting a 38-year-old woman, a senior official said on Monday. The case was lodged on Sunday evening at Naugaon police station in Dhar city.
Dhar's Superintendent of Police (SP) Aditya Pratap Singh said the woman complainant claimed she was living with the accused as his 'wife' and alleged that he sexually assaulted her. The MLA, who represents Gandhwani seat and is also the Congress's national secretary, could not be contacted for his reaction. MP Congress Committee's media department chairman K K Mishra told PTI that he does not have information about the case but prima facie, it seems to be a "politically motivated" case.
