New Delhi, 6 Jan 2013 [TOI] --- A 40-year-old politician belonging to the Bharatiya Janata Party was arrested in Mongolpuri on Friday for rape. The accused, Yogesh Attrey, had been sexually exploiting a 34-year-old woman for the last five years by promising her marriage, police said.
"We received her complaint on Thursday and arrested Attrey," said DCP (outer) B S Jaiswal.
Attrey is a resident of Sector 24, Rohini. The woman works for an NGO. "Her statement was recorded according to CrPC Section 164 and her medical report confirmed rape. We registered a case of rape at the Vijay Vihar police station and are investigating the case," said Jaiswal.
The complainant told cops that Attrey had been exploiting her since 2007 and threatened her with dire consequences if she disclosed their relationship.
Police have also slapped charges under IPC Section 313 (causing miscarriage without the woman's consent); but when questioned if the woman was forced to undergo abortion, police kept mum.
Incidentally, Attrey had contested in the 2008 Delhi assembly elections, said a source, adding that he had lost by 30,115 votes.
