Patna, Aug 31 (IANS): A woman has levelled a rape allegation against Rambalak Singh, a former JD(U) MLA from the Bibhutipur Assembly Constituency in Bihar who is already in jail over a double murder case.

The woman from Samastipur has filed a case at the Rosera sub-divisional court seeking justice against the incident which occurred on July 17, 2022.

As per her claim, the victim along with her mother and brother were returning from Dalsinghsarai on July 17, 2022 when some supporters of Rambalak Singh intercepted them near the Shindhia bus stand, and said that the former MLA had called her to a hotel for a meeting.

He is facing charges of killing two people, including a mukhiya of Samastipur.
