Madhya Pradesh BSP MLA Rambai Singh, whose party is an ally in the Congress-led government in the state, Friday protested her husband's arrest in a murder case and alleged "injustice" was being meted out to her.

The Patharia MLA's husband, Govind Singh, and 27 others were arrested for allegedly murdering BSP-turned- Congressman Devendra Chourasia (54).

Chourasia had joined the Congress on March 12 this year and was killed on March 15 in Hatta town in the state's Damoh district.

Raising the issue during Zero Hour in the Assembly on Friday, she said, "Despite being part of your government, I am unable to get justice. My family's 28 members were sent to jail in the case. When despite being an MLA, I'm unable to get justice, then how will common people get it."
