After Samajwadi Party (SP) MP's close aide, another leader of the Akhilesh Yadav-led party is facing sexual assault allegations. The accused has been the MP representative of Akhilesh's wife Dimple Yadav.

The accused Nawab Singh Yadav was arrested in Kannauj on Sunday (11 August) night for trying to rape a minor. It is alleged that the minor had gone to him seeking a job.
