The opposition BJP has accused Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot of intimidating the MLAs by conspiring against them, but an aide of the chief minister dismissed the charge saying the case against Mr Meghwal was registered when the BJP was in power.
The case was lodged against Mr Meghwal, who represents Keshoraipatan assembly constituency, at Mahaveer Nagar police station of Kota in February 2017 for which a notice has been issued, asking him to appear before the police to cooperate in the investigation.
