A special MP-MLA court here has directed to lodge an FIR against BJP’s Bilsi MLA Harish Shakya and 15 others including his brother and nephew on charges of gangrape and fraud.

Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Leelu Chaudhary issued the order on Wednesday after hearing a plea filed by the husband of the alleged victim, who sought justice in a case involving a land dispute.
