The woman had alleged that on December 31, she went to the Thakurs' residence where she was raped when Mrs Thakur sent her to Amitabh Thakur's room for an interview.

Mr Thakur had last week given an application against Mulayam Singh Yadav alleging that he was threatened by the Samajwadi Party chief and also released the audio of the purported conversation between them.
