BJP's Dhaurahra MP Rekha Verma has been booked for allegedly threatening a police constable, who broke away from her convoy after escorting it till his police station's limits.

An FIR was registered against the MP on Constable Shyam Singh's complaint, which alleged that she "humiliated" him and threatened him with "dire consequences" Sunday night.

The complaint was lodged at the Mohammadi police station Monday.

"The unexpected incident has terrified me," said the constable, who also accused the MP in his complaint of assaulting him.

Superintendent of Police Poonam said, "On the complaint of the aggrieved constable, an FIR has been lodged and the investigation into the allegations are on."
MP Rekha Verma, however, termed the constable's allegations as "baseless" and "concocted."
