Congress MP Rakesh Rathor Granted Bail Amid Rape Charges

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to Congress MP Rakesh Rathor amid a rape case against him. Accused of sexual exploitation by deceit, Rathor allegedly promised marriage to the complainant. Despite opposition, claiming false political motives, bail was granted after his initial plea rejection.

In a significant legal development, Congress MP Rakesh Rathor has been granted bail by the Allahabad High Court in a case involving serious allegations of rape.

The legal proceedings took a complicated turn as the police included charges under Section 69, citing deceitful promises of marriage made by Rathor to the complainant.

This decision comes after earlier bail pleas were rejected, suggesting political motivations are possibly influencing the high-profile case.
