Serious Allegations Against Congress MLA in Jharkhand: Minor Girl Files Complaint

Allegations Emerge from Jharkhand

A grave incident has surfaced from Jharkhand, where a 14-year-old tribal girl from Simdega has accused Congress MLA Bhushan Bara of sexual assault, physical abuse, and threats to her life. This allegation has stirred significant political unrest in the state. Following the minor's complaint, there have been calls for police action under the POCSO Act.

Details of the Allegations

The girl claims that in May 2026, she was taken to the MLA's residence under the pretense of being enrolled in school. Initially, she was housed at a residence in Simdega, but later was moved to the MLA's residence in Ranchi. According to her, she was forced to perform domestic chores, and any mistakes would result in verbal abuse and physical violence.

Serious Claims Regarding August 5 Incident

In her written complaint, the minor alleges that on August 5, 2026, she was assaulted at the MLA's residence in Ranchi. She asserts that when she resisted, her mouth was covered, and she was beaten. Additionally, she claims she was threatened with death if she disclosed the incident.

Health Issues Prompt Complaint

The complaint also details her deteriorating health and the challenges she faced in seeking medical attention. She reported experiencing severe bleeding on October 22, and upon examination, doctors informed her that the fetus she was carrying had died. This prompted her to file a complaint and seek action.

MLA Denies All Allegations

In response to the accusations, MLA Bhushan Bara has categorically denied all claims, labeling them as fabricated and part of a political conspiracy aimed at tarnishing his reputation. He stated that he often assists children from impoverished families with their education and is willing to cooperate fully with any investigation. Furthermore, he mentioned the possibility of filing a defamation suit against those making the allegations.

Call for Investigation

BJP leader Amar Kumar Bauri has also weighed in on the situation, urging the Chief Minister to initiate an immediate investigation to uncover the truth behind the allegations.

A Sensitive Case

This case is highly sensitive, with serious allegations from the minor and a complete denial from the MLA. All eyes are now on the impartiality of the investigation and the subsequent actions taken by the police.
