# BJP MLA Pritam Lodhi alleges rivals sending women to frame him in rape case 2026-08-22T15:43:52+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet BJP MLA from Pichhore in Shivpuri district, Pritam Lodhi, has alleged that his political rivals are trying to frame him in a rape case by sending women to him. He said the conspiracy follows a pattern: women are made to pick an argument with him, the conversation is recorded on a mobile phone, and the video is later used to get a case registered under Section 376 of the IPC. Lodhi claimed that instead of approaching him directly, rivals send women to the Dak Bungalow in Pichhore. These women are instigated to provoke him so the exchange can be recorded. A man often stands nearby with a phone to capture the interaction. He also alleged that his opponents are trying to frame his son using the same strategy, and that a woman had informed his son about the conspiracy. The MLA said the behaviour of some women who come to him makes him suspicious. He has advised his son to remain vigilant. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The accusation of being framed via fabricated evidence is common in Indian politics, but a sitting MLA publicly alleging a conspiracy by rivals to use rape laws as a weapon carries significant weight. This case has no immediate parallel of an MP MLA making such detailed allegations against unnamed rivals. The claim will likely be examined by the district administration or police, and the next step is whether Lodhi files a formal complaint naming individuals. If the conspiracy is found to be credible, it could trigger a police investigation or a complaint to the Election Commission. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Reports MLA's allegations without verifying or challenging them, no editorialising.
