Ex Jharkhand CM’s political adviser arrested from Etawah

Kanpur: The political adviser of former Jharkhand chief minister Babulal Marandi was arrested from a hotel on Agra-Lucknow Expressway under Saifai police station area in Etawah district by Ranchi police on Sunday.
The accused Sunil Tiwari was arrested after an FIR was registered against him at Argora police station in Ranchi on August 16, 2021 under the SC/ST Act by an 18-year-old tribal girl, who was his maid, for sexually exploiting her.
According to police, Tiwari’s maid has accused him of raping her in March 2020. She alleged that the former CM’s adviser had even threatened to kill her if she revealed anything about the incident to anyone.
The team of Ranchi police had been continuously raiding Tiwari’s hideouts and ultimately arrested him from room number 103 of the hotel on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.
Sunil had filed a petition for anticipatory bail in this case but it was rejected by the lower court, following which he had approached the high court.
Station house officer Saifai police station, Hamid Siddiqui said, “Sunil was hiding in room number 103 of the hotel situated near toll plaza close to channel number 104 of the Agra-Lucknow Expressway in Saifai police station area.”
“He was brought to Saifai to record his statement before the magistrate. Later, police got his medical examination done at Uttar Pradesh University of Medical Sciences in Saifai where the doctors said he is suffering from heart disease and advised hospitalization. On the advice of doctors, the Ranchi police got Sunil admitted to UPUMS,” the SHO said.
Later, the Ranchi police informed the Saifai police station about the arrest. On the instructions of senior officials, there is round-the-clock security in the ward where Tiwari is admitted.
Tiwari claimed that he has been framed in the case and all the allegations levelled against him are false.
