New Delhi: The rape case against BSP MP Dhananjay Singh today took a new turn with the alleged victim telling a Delhi court that she was not sexually assaulted by the politician.


According to the sources, the 42-year-old woman told Additional Sessions Judge Sarita, during an in-camera proceeding, that nothing wrong was done to her by Singh and he had not rape her.

Today's testimony, however, is contrary to the woman's earlier statements before the police and a magistrate in which she had said she was repeatedly raped by Singh for nearly four years.

The woman, a railway employee, deposed as a prosecution witness before the court which commenced the trial in the case. Recording of her statement would continue tomorrow.  

In the charge sheet against Singh in the rape case, the police alleged that he had repeatedly raped the woman between July 2005 and March 2009.
