The family of expelled BJP leader Dayashankar Singh on Friday lodged an FIR against BSP chief Mayawati and other leaders of her party for allegedly using foul language against them during a public protest here.
Tetra Devi, the mother of Dayashankar, who had himself used insulting remarks against Mayawati, filed a complaint against the BSP leaders for raising “derogatory” slogans at the party protest in Lucknow yesterday, police said.
On the basis of the complaint, an FIR was lodged against BSP chief Mayawati, State unit President Ram Achal Rajbhar, National General Secretary Naseemuddin and National Secretary Mevalal, besides unknown workers, police said.
The FIR was registered under IPC Section 120B (punishment for criminal conspiracy), Section 153 A (promoting enmity between different groups), Section 504 (intentional insult with intent to breach peace) and Section 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 509 (word, gesture or act to insult modesty of woman), police said.
Earlier in the day, Tetra Devi met Police and submitted that slogans at the protest amounted to outraging the modesty of women. She said after the sloganeering, Singh’s 12-year-old daughter was in shock.
Singh’s wife Swati Singh had earlier said, “My husband is in politics, but we have no political connection but BSP workers have abused all women of the family in a public protest.”
