The DNA sample of Nawab Singh Yadav, a former Samajwadi Party leader arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old girl, has matched with the sample taken from the survivor in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh.
Nawab Singh Yadav, who was previously an associate of Samajwadi Party leader Dimple Yadav, was arrested on August 12 under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and POCSO Act. He was subsequently placed in 14-day judicial custody for the alleged rape of the minor.
Just hours before his arrest, the survivor contacted the police, reporting that she had been stripped and an attempt to assault her had been made.
The incident took place in the Kotwali Nagar area of Kannauj. Chaudhary Chandan Singh Mahavidyalaya of Samajwadi Party leader and former block chief Nawab Singh Yadav is located in Adangapur village here.
Nawab Singh allegedly removed the clothes of the victim and started molesting her. When the victim protested, her aunt standing outside came to know about the matter. She immediately called Dial 112 and called the police. The police took the accused into custody. It is being said that the accused was in objectionable condition at the time of the arrest. The victim and her aunt were brought to Kotwali Sadar along with the accused. There, a written complaint was taken from the victim, based on which a case was registered against Nawab Singh Yadav under serious sections of the Indian Penal Code including the POCSO Act.
The police quickly arrived at the scene, rescued the minor, and arrested Nawab Singh Yadav, whom they found in a “compromising” situation.
During the investigation, the survivor informed the police that her paternal aunt had brought her to his residence under the pretext of finding a job.
Nawab Singh Yadav, however, denied the accusations, asserting that it was part of a “capitalist conspiracy.”
The case, however, stirred a political row after it came to light just days after Samajwadi Party leader Moid Khan and his servant Raju Khan were accused of gangraping a minor girl from the Nishad community in Ayodhya. The bakery shop where this incident took place, Moid Khan’s establishment, has since been demolished using a bulldozer. Moid Khan is close to Samajwadi MP Awadhesh Prasad from Ayodhya. Many pictures of the two together have also surfaced. Moid Khan had also campaigned for Awadhesh Prasad in the recent Lok Sabha elections.
