Sodomy case: Former Madhya Pradesh minister Raghavji arrested

[1]

Bhopal: Madhya Pradesh former finance minister Raghavji, who had to quit after he was accused of sexually exploiting his male servants, was arrested in Bhopal on Tuesday. He was absconding for the past two days.  
On Sunday, the Habib-ganj police station also registered an FIR against Raghavji under sections 377 and 506 of IPC. While section 377 covers sodomy, 506 relates to threatening someone with dire consequences.
Madhya Pradesh BJP president Narendra Singh Tomar had on Sunday passed a one-line order expelling from the party tainted leader Raghavji.
Raghavji was resigned on last Friday after an obscene CD purportedly featuring him surfaced and a police complaint by his servant alleging that he was being sexually exploited by the Minister.
The 79-year-old minister submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, who forwarded it to state Governor Ram Naresh Yadav for acceptance, official sources said.
Chouhan is learnt to have asked Raghavji to resign after an obscene CD purportedly featuring him surfaced and the minister's servant filed a police complaint yesterday.
Raghavji had set a record by presenting the state budget for 10 years in succession from 2004 to 2013. The sources said that Chouhan has asked Water Resources Minister Jayant Malaiyya to look after the finance portfolio.
Describing the incident as unfortunate, Leader of Opposition in Madhya Pradesh Assembly Ajay Singh said that in politics "moral corruption" was a much worse thing than corruption.
