According to media reports, the accused leader had called the minor victim along with her aunt on the pretext of giving her a job. When she came to meet him, he reportedly sexually abused her.

Ayodhya rape case
Another SP leader Moid Khan, a Samajwadi Party MP Awadhesh Prasad’s close aide, was arrested for allegedly raping his 12-year-old daily wage employee for over two months. The matter was highly politicised after a BJP delegation met the victim's family in Ayodhay.
A three-member BJP delegation recently met the 12-year-old girl who was raped and her family members, and urged the state government to raise the compensation to the survivor's kin from Rs 5 lakh to 25 lakh.
BJP leaders, including Adityanath, alleged that Moid Khan, the prime accused in the gangrape case, is a member of Samajwadi Party (SP) and part of the team of Faizabad MP Awadhesh Prasad.
