Jaipur, Sep 4 (IANS) An FIR was registered in Rajasthan's Udaipur city Tuesday against Bharatiya Janta Party general secretary and sitting legislator Kiran Maheshwari, her husband and 28 others on charges of fraud, police said.

Maheshwari has been accused of defrauding an Udaipur-based man by giving him false information about a woman and luring him into marrying her, they added.

According to police, the case has been registered by Dipak Tapadia, a resident of Bada Bazaar area in Udaipur, some 400 km from Jaipur.
