She had also given a similar statement to a three-member team of National Commission of Women (NCW).

 

The girl was allegedly raped on December 10-11 at Dwivedi's residence. She escaped from the MLA's house on December 12, when he allegedly attempted to rape her for the third time and charged her with theft.

 

The MLA, who was on the run after orders for his arrest were issued, was taken into custody last Thursday.
