On October 3, Circle Officer Jai Shankar Mishra told PTI-Bhasha that Ballia police were examining an affidavit alleging rape by BJP district president Sanjay Mishra.
Navbharat Times, in a separate October 3 report, described the complainant’s allegation that the district president’s name had been removed from an earlier complaint concerning private images. She sought action through an affidavit. The allegations had circulated publicly by October 2. Police dispute her account of the complaint’s handling: the circle officer told PTI-Bhasha that the case was registered on the complaint actually received.
Sanjay Mishra denied the allegations on October 3, describing them as baseless and alleging an attempt to damage his reputation. Amar Ujala separately published a video report of his denial that evening. The reports reviewed do not establish a judicial finding on the rape allegations. Publication of an allegation does not establish guilt. The complainant’s identifying details and private material are withheld.
