Himachal: Woman alleges harassment by BJP MLA, he says she is 'like my daughter'

SHIMLA: (Nov 3) A woman in Himachal Pradesh's Chamba has accused BJP MLA Hansraj of harassing her and threatening her family members, allegations the legislator dismissed as an attempt to trigger "communal tension".

A purported video of the woman making the allegations has surfaced on social media. The woman filed an FIR against the MLA last year after accusing him of sending her obscene messages and demanding nude pictures.

In the video, the woman alleged that some people tried to defame her by saying that she took money to level the allegations against Hansraj, the MLA from Churah in Chamba. She also claimed that she was pressured to withdraw her complaint.
