Published on: 

The woman, who has been claiming to be wife of Talcher BJD MlA Braja Kishore Pradhan, lodged a complaint against him at the SDJM Court here on Saturday.

The woman had earlier ransacked the MlA's Government quarters here on May 17.

As per the allegation of the woman, the MlA had physically tortured her when she demanded social recognition after they got married at the Jagannath Temple at Puri on April 5, 2015.

She had also lodged a written complaint at the Mahila police station here and with the National Commission for Women (NCW).

However, Pradhan has denied the allegations.

 "The allegations made by the woman are false and baseless. I am not married to her. I am a bachelor. It could be part of the conspiracy against me by political opponents," Pradhan has said.
