The CID-CB also decided to send a team of sleuths to the former minister’s residence to record the statements of Nagar’s family members, the spokesman said. Nagar, who was served notices thrice by the CID-CB to report to its office for medical examination and statements, had reportedly gone on a pilgrimage– as per his son’s information provided to the probe agency. The Rajasthan minister of state for Dairy resigned last week following an FIR against him by the woman, who alleged that she was raped by him at his official bungalow on September 11 on the pretext of giving her a job. 53-year-old Nagar, who was accused of raping the 35-year-old woman at his residence, had resigned on September 19 blaming his political rivals for “framing” him.
