In a sudden move, a 32-year-old woman has retracted from her allegations against Uttarakhand Minister Harak Singh Rawat. Earlier, the woman had alleged intimidation by the Minister and had also alleged that the Minister had outraged her modesty when she went to meet him in South Delhi’s Green Park area.
On Friday afternoon, the statement of the victim under Section 164 of CrPc was recorded before the magistrate. The woman took an about turn and retracted from her earlier allegations. “She said that out of anger she had filed a complaint and denied all the claims made by her. She agreed that she had met the Minister in September for getting a job,” said a police official.
The victim had submitted a written complaint against Rawat on Monday, following which a case was registered at the Safdarjung police station.
