Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani today said that his government will remain "neutral" in the police probe into rape allegations against former BJP MLA Jayanti Bhanushali.
On July 19, an FIR was lodged in Surat's Sarthana police station against Bhanushali for allegedly raping a 21-year-old woman on the pretext of securing admission for her in a reputed fashion designing college.
In her complaint, the victim had alleged that Bhanushali raped her on several occasions between November 2017 and March 2018.
Speaking to reporters in Bhuj in Kutch today, Rupani said, "The police is doing its job. My government will remain neutral in whatever investigations that are going on. We will not take into consideration any other factors while probing the case."
