Lucknow: Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today visited the district jail here to meet former minister and close aide Gayatri Prasad Prajapati, lodged there in connection with a rape case, and described him as “innocent”.
Mulayam alleged that Prajapati was being treated like a “terrorist” and said he would take up the matter with the Prime Minister. “There is no proof with the police against Prajapati. A conspiracy is being hatched against him,” he said.
“He (Prajapati) is innocent and is being meted treatment like terrorists. The BJP government is following political vendetta. I will meet the prime minister and if needed the president to apprise them of the matter,” he said later.
