Kalahandi: A police team visited the official residence of a sitting BJD MLA, Manorama Mohanty Sunday in connection with a case registered against her husband.
A team of police officers from Kalahandi district, early Sunday, reached the residence of the Narla MLA. Manorama’s husband is the Narla block president of BJD.
The police have registered a case against the husband of MLA for allegedly threatening the tehsildar, a police officer said Sunday.
The case was registered at Narla police station in Kalahandi district March 15, based on a written complaint lodged by the tehsildar, the police officer said.
The police claimed that the accused had been absconding since the registration of the case against him. The police team visited the official residence of the MLA Sunday morning to serve a notice in connection with the case.
However, the police personnel could not find him there, he said, clarifying that no warrant was issued against him.
Meanwhile, BJD youth wing president Chinmaya Sahu alleged that the ruling BJP has indulged in “political vendetta” against the party MLA and her family as she did not agree to vote in favour of their candidate in the recently concluded Rajya Sabha election.
