Mau, April

30 (HS): The MP MLA court in Mau district of Uttar Pradesh has issued a

non-bailable warrant against Uttar Pradesh Cabinet Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar,

accusing him of making offensive remarks and threatening to hit BJP leaders

with shoes in a case related to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

The case

relates to an election rally held in Ratanpura Bazaar, under the Haldharpur

police station area. According to the complaint, the minister, while inciting

party workers from the stage, threatened to abuse and throw shoes at BJP

leaders, which was considered a violation of democratic values and the

election code of conduct. An FIR was registered in this case based on the

complaint of SI Rudrabhan Pandey, and after investigation, the police filed a

charge sheet in court. However, due to the minister's absence during the

framing of charges, Chief Judicial Magistrate (MP-MLA Court) Dr. Krishna Pratap

Singh took a firm stance and issued a non-bailable warrant on Wednesday. The

next hearing in the case has been scheduled for May 16, 2026, with instructions

to ensure the minister's presence.
