The woman said that the MLA had assaulted her twice and even forced her to share private pictures and talk to him. She further stated in the complaint that he made the video to defame her thinking that she may file a complaint.
“I am facing threat to my life and my family hence I request you to take necessary action,” she said in her complaint.
Mr. Jagadish Kumar said that as an advocate he contacted her on Facebook assuring legal help following which she had approached him with a written complaint. He demanded that the police register a complaint, and provide security to her family and to her so that she can appear before the police to give her statement.
It may be recalled that Mr. Kumar, soon after the first video of the woman was released, had met Mr. Pant and submitted a requisition to take up suo motu case as per Nirbhaya guidelines.
