MP: 'Missing' independent MLA returns, denies he was abducted

One of the four missing MLAs

supporting the Congress government in Madhya Pradesh returned to Bhopal on Friday and denied that he had been abducted.

Surendra Singh Shera, independent MLA from Burhanpur, returned here by an afternoon flight from Delhi.

Talking to reporters, he asserted that he continues to support the Kamal Nath-led government.

The Congress had alleged that the opposition BJP was trying to poach its MLAs to bring down the state government.

Three Congress MLAs -- Hardeep Singh Dang, Bisahulal Singh and Raghuraj Kansana -- are reportedly still untraceable.
