Jaipur: In fresh revelations, the lady who had charged former Rajasthan minister Babulal Nagar of raping her, has done a sting on an intermediary for the politician who offered her Rs 7 crore to withdraw her FIR.
The rape victim today handed over the sting video copy to Jaipur CID-Crime Branch and has appealed to Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot to allow her to stay in Uttar Pradesh, as she feared for her life.
The rape victim alleged that Congress leader Babulal Nagar's brother Hazarilal had sent one Shyam Lal to speak to her and during conversation, that was videotaped by the victim's son, Rs 7 crore was offered to keep her mouth shut.
This offer was made on the eve of the rape victim testifying before a court under Section 164 Criminal Procedure Code narrating the entire rape incident.
According to the sting video, the victim was threatened by the intermediary who said if she wanted to stay in Jaipur unharmed, she must accept the offer and must not "buy enmity" with Babulal Nagar.
The rape victim today said, she had no faith in Rajasthan police and wanted to move to Uttar Pradesh fearing threat to her life.
In the sting video, the mediator Shyam Lal is shown sitting on a sofa in the victim's house and speaking to the woman and her son.
When the victim's son, on what grounds would her mother withdraw her FIR, Shyamlal said, the statement was yet to be recorded, and the lawyer would tell the court about the 'compromise'.
When the rape victim asked where Babulal Nagar's brother Hazarilal was, Shyamlal said, it was 11:30 pm and he may be at uncle's residence. When the lady asked who was the uncle, Shyamlal said, he was the councillor of ward number 1.
When the rape victim asked why Babulal Nagar was offering money when it was his own party which was in power, Shyamlal replied: "He may have to go to jail at least once."
Shyamlal also said, the FSL (Forensic Science Lab) report on the rape would definitely come negative, and the officers handling the case would make a file so weak that Nagar would get bail very soon.
When the rape victim said, her son was against withdrawing the case, come what may, Shyamlal said, it would be better if she does the raajinaama(compromise) if she wanted to stay in Jaipur.
When the rape victim said, how much Nagar was offering, Shyamlal said, he was offering Rs 7 crore.
Victim: Who will give the money?
Shyamlal: Nagar.
Victim: He will give you Rs 7 crore, and Rs 2 crore to me?
Shyamlal: Whatever money I get, I will give it to you. I will get a straight deal done, so that both of you could be satisfied.
Victim's son: Tell us, what the lawyer will tell in court?
Shyamlal: It's the lawyer who can say what he'll tell the court.
The rape victim has told Rajasthan chief minister and state police chief that she was still getting threats and she feared either she or her son would be kidnapped.
