Minor alters statement in case against ex-min's son
Patna: The allegations against Mukesh Sahni, son of former minister Ramashray Sahni, took a dramatic turn on Monday as the 17-year-old minor at the centre of the case continued to alter her statements. What began as a case of kidnapping and rape has now shifted to charges of molestation. The matter drew widespread attention when the girl went missing on Friday night and was located by police on Saturday evening. Her statement was recorded in a Samastipur court under Section 164 on Monday and her medical examination was conducted at sadar hospital, police said. According to the FIR, the victim claimed she was forcibly taken by Mukesh and his driver, Raghubir, while stepping out of her home. She alleged that they took her to several places and harassed her before leaving her at an isolated spot. An audio clip later surfaced in which she apologised to her parents, saying she was running away because Mukesh had allegedly filmed and sexually assaulted her. However, she later altered her statement to allegations of molestation. Samastipur ASP Sanjay Pandey said it was essential to record the girl's statement under Section 164 before a magistrate. The police are still awaiting the court-issued copy. An FIR under the POCSO Act has been filed against Mukesh and Raghubir. The driver has already been arrested and sent to jail, he said. "The former minister has denied the allegations, claiming his son is being framed in a political conspiracy. According to him, his driver saw the girl in a suspicious situation with another boy named Anshu and recorded a video. He maintained his son's innocence and cooperated with the police investigation," the ASP said.
