Rajasthan rape case: Statements of guard, four others recorded

Statements of five persons including the guard and the supervisor at the official bungalow of former Rajasthan minister Babu Lal Nagar were recorded today in connection with a rape case against him.
Sleuths of Criminal Investigation Department-Crime Branch (CID-CB) spent the whole day in recording the statements of a guard, a supervisor and three others, a police spokesman said.
Nagar is to appear tomorrow for a medical examination as per the letter written by him to the CID crime branch.
Nagar, who had been served notices thrice by the CID-CB to report to its office for a medical examination and recording of his statement, has reportedly gone on a pilgrimage, his son told the probe agency.

"Nagar is still untraceable and his location was not disclosed by his family members," a crime branch source said.
Nagar resigned as the state minister for dairy following an FIR against him by a woman alleging that he had raped and assaulted her at his official bungalow on September 11 taking her there on the pretext of giving a job.
53-year-old Nagar, however, had denied the allegations, saying his political rivals had "framed" him ahead of the Assembly elections.
