IPS officer meets MHA official

Senior IPS officer Amitabh Thakur sought central force protection and a CBI probe into the rape case filed against him in Lucknow, hours after he had lodged a complaint against Mulayam for allegedly threatening him.

Thakur met Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) Anant Kumar Singh and sought central force protection for himself and his wife and social activist Nutan Thakur.

"Mulayam Singh Yadav had threatened me with dire consequences. So, today I have met the Additional Secretary and sought security for me and my wife by central forces," he told reporters outside the North Block, housing the MHA.

Thakur said a "false" rape case had been slapped against him after he lodged a complaint against the ruling SP supremo Yadav in Lucknow on July 10 for threatening him. "I want a CBI investigation into the rape charge against me," he said.

On July 11, an FIR was registered at Gomti Nagar police station in Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow against Thakur under sections 376 (rape), 504 (intentional insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC, on the basis of an earlier complaint by a Ghaziabad-based woman. The IPS officer's wife has been named a co-accused in the FIR.
