Woman Seeks Fresh Probe and DNA Test in 2002 Alleged Assault Case Against Former Minister
Indira Devi, known as Jenny, alleges that former Uttarakhand Congress leader Harak Singh Rawat sexually assaulted her in 2002 when she was 16. She claims she was kept at Rawat's residence, became pregnant, and was later placed in a mental health facility under false pretenses. Jenny demands a fresh CBI investigation and a DNA test to establish her son's paternity and secure his legal rights. The BJP has questioned Congress's silence, while Rawat denies the allegations, calling them politically motivated.
