Bhopal, March 16 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Wednesday conducted searches at houses of former Madhya Pradesh legislator Kishore Samrite in connection with the fake rape case he had lodged against Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi.
The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court March 7 slapped a penalty of Rs.50 lakh on former Samajwadi Party legislator Samrite, who had filed a habeas corpus petition alleging that Rahul Gandhi had raped a girl from Amethi and was keeping her along with her parents in illegal detention since 2007.
While dismissing Samrite’s petition, the court also ordered the CBI to register a case against him.
The court directed that Rs.25 lakh be paid to the girl, Rs.20 lakh to Rahul Gandhi and Rs.5 lakh to Director General of Police Karamvir Singh for bringing the girl and her parents in the court within the time allowed.
The amount would be deposited within one month with the court registrar, the court directed.
The CBI team raided Samrite’s houses in Bhopal and Lanjhi in Balaghat district, around 400 km from the capital.
Sources said the raids yielded some important documents from Samrite’s premises.
