The man caught in the booze sting is Congress MLA from Narkatiaganj in West Champaran district Vinay Verma. Sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Aman Kumar said that the MLA had arrived at Sikarpur police station yesterday morning to give a petition for registration of case against unknown journalists behind the sting operation.
As the police was deliberating on his request, the MLA’s supporters created a ruckus to help the legislator get away. The SDPO said the police and Excise Suprintendent Rakesh Kumar is deliberating on further action against the MLA after his vanishing act from the police station.
The sting showing the Congress MLA allegedly offering booze to guests at a posh hotel in Patna has created a major embarrassment for the grand secular alliance headed by Kumar in which Congress is a partner. However, the embattled Congress MLA claimed “conspiracy” behind the sting. He claimed that he is a vegetarian and a teetotaler and any talk of offering liquor to guests was not true.
