UP polls: Cops raid actor Jaya Prada's hotel

Lucknow, Mar 2: The Uttar Pradesh police conducted a raid on film actress turned politician and Lok Manch vice-president Jaya Prada when she was a hotel in Rampur on Thursday, Mar 2, reports said.

According to a CNN-IBN report, the police claimed it was a routine check to see whether she and others like her had illegally stocked up cash.

Meanwhile, Rampur MP Jaya Prada has dismissed all allegations levelled against her saying "these are fake complaints against me. The police came yesterday also. I am not fighting elections. I don't know why the police is raiding against me. Why are they not going in Azam Khan's house. They are thinking that I am alone and they can take political benefit by imposing fake allegations on me."

She added, "Amar Singh is with me. People are with me. Last time also (during 2009 elections), they did this. I know who is doing this conspiracy against me. Police is following the directions given by Azam Khan. They are not respecting my family and me. I have registered a complaint against them. I made this complaint to Election Commission. I cannot tolerate this." she added.

"If they find anything then I won't object for investigation against me. I don't know why they are doing this conspiracy against me. Amar Singh has left Rampur according to protocol of elections. We will reply them harshly. Why is the police not raiding Azam Khan's house?"
