On July 9, a day when the Madhya Pradesh government was busy presenting a supplementary budget in the Vidhan Sabha, the MLAs, both from the ruling and the opposition benches, were more interested in the man who would have presented it—Raghavji Lakhansi Sawala, 79, the finance minister who had been sacked after CDs of him allegedly sodomising his male help emerged. Arrested on July 7 from a locked flat in Bhopal after the victim, Rajkumar Dangi, his help of many years, filed an FIR, Raghavji is now in jail. The young man has charged the minister with sexually abusing him for years running.
