Gurdaspur: A woman, who had accused former Akali minister Sucha Singh Langah of
rape, today retracted from her earlier statement, an official said.
In
the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Prem Kumar here,
the complainant also denied being in the purported video clip which went
viral on social media purportedly showing Langah in a compromising
position.
Speaking to mediapersons here, government counsel Kiran
Bains said the complainant retracted from her earlier statement
pertaining to rape charges in the court.
The next date of hearing has been fixed for March 12.
Langah
was booked by police on the night of September 28 last year after the
woman gave a complaint that the Akali leader had allegedly been raping
her repeatedly since 2009.
