Cuttack: Tirtol MLA Bijaya Shankar Das, who was in the news for wrong reasons for allegedly not turning up for marriage at court with his rumoured girlfriend Somalika Dash, has reportedly submitted application for registration of marriage with another woman.
According to reports, the legislator is planning to marry Pratyusha Nanda, a resident of Cuttack city. Das submitted the application at the Office of the Registrar of Marriage here on September 21.
Reacting over the development, Somalika said, “Bijaya Shankar has applied for marriage while our matter is still sub-judice. It is quite surprising. He is getting support from somewhere.”
“I will file complaint within the 30-day period and try to get justice. I think his party is protecting him from action as he has not been questioned by police yet,” she added.
Notably, Somalika had levelled a serious allegation against the MLA accusing him of not turning up for marriage at a court in Jagatsinghpur even as the two had applied for marriage registration at the office of the sub-registrar in the district.
She had further accused him of running a sex racket. She alleged that the MLA engaged innocent girls in the illegal activity. The money collected through the sex racket was used by the MLA for election-related expenses, she had said.
Alleging police inaction, Somalika had moved the Orissa High Court seeking registration of case against the legislator.
The High Court had directed the Jagatsinghpur police station IIC to register a case against the MLA.
