Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court Tuesday issued notices to Uttar Pradesh
authorities and Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi on a plea
seeking information about the whereabouts of a woman who went
missing after meeting him in Amethi in 2006, a lawyer said.
The Lucknow bench court issued notice to Gandhi after the petition
alleged that the woman and her family members were "untraceable"
ever since they met him in his parliamentary constituency Dec 13,
2006.
The notice was issued by Justice S.N. Shukla, the petitioner's
advocate Surya Mani Raikwar told IANS here. The court did not fix
any date for the next hearing, he said.
Filing the petition on behalf of the family, Kishore Samrite, a
former Samajwadi Party legislator from Madhya Pradesh, accused the
Congress leader and his five "foreigner friends" of allegedly
assaulting the 24-year-old woman Sukanya Singh.
Claiming to have learnt about the incident from a web site, the
petitioner said: "I was moved by the news. So I came from my home
in Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh to Amethi where I found the girl's
house locked. Villagers were tightlipped about the whereabouts of
the family."
The petition seeks presentation of Sukanya, her father Balram
Singh and mother Savitri Singh in court.
