A case of rape and criminal intimidation has been registered against Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s personal secretary, PP Madhavan, in Delhi. The complaint has been filed by a 26-year-old Dalit woman at Uttam Nagar police station.
“A complaint was received at the Uttam Nagar police station on June 25. A case under sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered. We are investigating the matter,” said M Harsha Vardhan, Dwarka Deputy Commissioner of Police.
Though the DCP did not name the political leader, officials in the Delhi Police said the allegations were levelled against Madhavan.
According to the complaint, Madhavan has been accused of raping the woman on the pretext of marriage and job. Sources said the woman’s husband — who died in 2020 — used to work at the Congress office in Delhi where he affixed party hoardings.
A police officer said the victim was allegedly raped and threatened with dire consequences by the accused if she reported the matter.
