Jai Anant Dehadrai, Supreme Court lawyer and Mahua Moitra’s ex-partner, has filed a complaint against the Trinamool Congress MP, accusing her of “trespassing” with the intention of “intimidating” him.
In the complaint, he alleged that she showed up at his house unannounced on November 5 and 6.
The complaint against the TMC MP read, “Mahua Moitra, Member of Parliament came unannounced to my residence on November 5 at around 11 am and on November 6 at around 9 am. There is every possibility that Moitra might intentionally come to my residential premises with the sole objective of filing further fraudulent complaints against me.”
He added, “I have previously informed the Commissioner of Police, Delhi, regarding these fraudulent and bogus complaints by Ms Moitra.”
Dehadrai said that she came to his residence with a “very apparent intention to commit trespass and to intimidate” him. He further asked the police to investigate the matter and register a case.
CASH-FOR-QUERY ROW
Jai Anant Dehadrai made headlines after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, accusing Mahua Moitra of taking bribes to ask questions in the House.
Dubey said that he had based his allegations on Dehadrai’s letter. The lawyer claims to have “irrefutable evidence” of the TMC MP accepting bribes from Hiranandani in exchange for asking questions about the Adani Group.
Moitra has refuted these allegations, calling them “false and defamatory”. She had also sent a legal notice to BJP MP Nishikant Dubey and advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai regarding their claims.
She said that charges that she accepted “any benefit of any kind to perform her duties as a Member of Lok Sabha” were “defamatory, false, baseless, and not supported by even a shred of evidence”.
On November 2, Moitra appeared for a Parliament Ethics Committee hearing regarding the allegations. However, she walked out of the meeting along with other Opposition MPs, citing “sordid, unethical and prejudiced” conduct by committee members.
