The Delhi Police has registered a rape case against P P Madhavan, personal secretary of senior Congress Interim President Sonia Gandhi.
Madhavan, who is 71-years of age, has been accused of allegedly raping and threatening a woman. No arrests have been made so far, and also twitter feminists have not outraged, at least as of now.
Case:
26-year-old complainant woman lodged an FIR on June 25 accusing Madhavan of allegedly raping and harassing her on several occasions on the pretext of offering her a job and marrying her.
Allegations by Woman
As per detailed report by The Indian Express, the woman said she met the accused soon after she lost her husband during the COVID lockdown in 2020. Her husband used to work as a helper at the party office. She said she would often go to the Congress office in search of a job. As per her statement in the FIR, she said,
My financial condition wasn’t good and I went to the Congress office where I got Sonia Gandhi’s PA P P Madhavan’s number. I told him I was in need of a job and he promised to help me. On January 21 (this year), he called me for an interview. He asked me many questions and viewed all my documents.
He then told me that he wanted to marry me. I said yes. One day, he called me to meet him. He came to pick me up in a car. He asked his driver to leave the car. He sexually assaulted me and tried to rape me. When I objected to this, he got angry and left me on the road alone.
The complainant alleged the accused later apologised to her and they started talking again. After a few days, he again called her to meet him. The FIR further stated,
In February, he called me to meet him… (and) raped me. Later, he told me that his wife had seen my mobile number. I was shocked to hear all this. I asked him about his wife, but he kept ignoring me. He then forced me to have sex with someone else. I refused. He threatened me saying they (party) have been ruling for 70 years and that he would get me kidnapped. I was scared.
Madhavan’s Statement
Speaking with The Indian Express, Madhavan called it a baseless allegation just to defame the Congress party. He added that there was no truth in it and the same was a complete conspiracy. He said,
Recently it has been brought to my knowledge that some media reports are floating wherein it has been propagated that a complaint has been filed against me, wherein I have been accused of sexual offences by a woman who claims to be a Congress worker and who was promised a job by me.
I have got to know of registration of the alleged FIR only from media reports. Though I had appeared before the Station House Officer on 25.6.2022 and put forth my explanation whereafter I was asked to leave.
I have the evidence to demonstrate and establish that the alleged complaint has been made in a pre-concerted manner in order to settle a political vendetta and the present complaint is devoid of merits.
I condemn the smear campaign run against me by the complainant and the people behind her and the same appears to be propelled by sick minds in order to vilify the image of a reputed 71-year-old man known for his service to society.
