Congress Expels Madhya Pradesh MLA's Son Facing Rape Charges

The police had in October 2021 arrested Karan Morwal, who was running, after a woman lodged a rape complaint against him on April 2 last year.

The Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has expelled a legislator son from the party's primary membership for six years over rape charges registered against him.

MPCC organisation secretary Chandra Prabhash Shekhar in a letter issued on Monday to Karan Morwal (30), who was a member of the Congress, said the party inquired into the allegations against him and prima facie found that they seem to be true, though the case is still pending in the court of law.

Karan Morwal is the son of Badnagar Congress legislator Murli Morwal.

Reacting to the development, MP Home Minister Narottam Mishra questioned the delay in action taken by the Congress against Karan Morwal.
