Jaipur: A CBI team today recorded the statement of a 35-year-old woman who accused Rajasthan's former minister Babulal Nagar of raping her, sources said.
A case of rape was registered September 17 against the former minister of state for dairy and rural industries, who later had to resign.
"A CBI team, including a woman police officer, reached the woman's residence around 11 am today (friday) and recorded her statement for about four hours," said a source close to the investigation.
"He (Nagar) will be quizzed in the next couple of days. It is possible that he may be arrested soon after his interrogation," said the source.
The woman's statement has been recorded before a magistrate in which she alleged that Nagar's relatives were threatening her and offering her money to withdraw the case.
