New Delhi: A rape case has been filed in Delhi against former Uttarakhand minister Harak Singh Rawat. The case was filed last night after a 32-year-old woman lodged a complaint.
The woman has alleged that the former minister raped her at his Green Park residence, said a senior police officer.
Mr Rawat had joined the BJP after playing a key role in challenging the Harish Rawat government earlier this year.

The woman, said to be in her late twenties, had alleged that Mr Rawat had molested her at his residence in September when she had gone to meet him for a job. Sources close to Mr Rawat had claimed that the case was politically motivated.
