Tirtol MLA Terms Rape Allegations as Baseless

Bhubaneswar (Reporters Today Bureau): Tirtol MLA Bijay Shankar Das termed the rape allegations levelled against him by none other than his wife-to-be Somalika Dash as baseless. The BJD lawmaker said he has been a victim of a conspiracy.

“The allegations levelled against me are baseless. It seems to be a conspiracy against me. I am clueless as to who is behind this. However, I have full faith on the Crime Branch, the agency to investigate into it. The investigation would reveal who is conspiring against me,” said the MLA.

While the MLA has been reiterating that the allegations against him are baseless, his girlfriend Dash has been maintaining that she has proof to corroborate her allegations.
