The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay the arrest of Gayatri Prajapati — a Minister in the Akhilesh Yadav government — for allegedly raping and blackmailing a woman.
“It’s very unfortunate that its order for registration of FIR against Gayatri Prajapati is being given a political colour,” said a bench of Justice AK Sikri and Justice RK Agrawal while refusing to allow his plea to recall the order on lodging of FIR in the sexual assault case.
