Complaint of Fear of Life and Property
The complainant, Mukesh Jaiswal, has expressed fear for his life and property after lodging a complaint against the MLA of Siswa assembly seat. The complaint was regarding the MLA’s alleged disproportionate assets. The administration has launched an investigation into the matter, sparking concerns for the safety of the complainant. Jaiswal, a resident of Kushinagar district, felt threatened by the MLA after filing a complaint before the Lokayukta in Lucknow.
Allegations and Denial
In response to the allegations, MLA Prem Sagar Patel refuted the claims, stating that no one in the district has accused him of any wrongdoing. He dismissed the complaint as an attempt to tarnish his reputation, suggesting that the complainant lodged the complaint due to government actions against financial irregularities. Patel called the allegations baseless and accused the complainant of colluding with his relatives to fabricate charges against him. Despite these denials, Jaiswal continued to feel unsafe and sought intervention from the authorities.
Perceived Threats and Concerns
The complainant highlighted that despite the Lokayukta’s actions following his complaint, he continued to receive threats and felt insecure. Jaiswal’s decision to approach the SP of Maharajganj was driven by a genuine fear for his safety in light of the escalating situation. The allegations of disproportionate assets against the MLA have evidently created a tense atmosphere, with the complainant fearing retribution for seeking justice through official channels. The administration’s response to these concerns will be crucial in ensuring the safety and protection of the complainant.
