A day after he complained of receiving threat call from the SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, IPS officer Amitabh Thakur in Uttar Pradesh has a rape case registered against him.
The complainant, a resident of Ghaziabad in UP, filed an FIR in Lucknow’s Gomti Nagar police station. She has named Thakur’s wife too in the FIR accusing her of colluding with Thakur.
Thakur had released an audio tape, where the SP chief was allegedly threatening him of dire consequences. However, www.jantakareporter.com has not been able to verify the authenticity of that tape.
The IPS officer said he ‘welcomed the FIR’ against him adding that it was a ‘return gift from Mulayam Singh Yadav.’
