Karan Morwal, who was expelled from the Madhya Pradesh Congress over a rape case, was seen attending a meeting with former Chief Minister Digvijay Singh.
Karan Morwal is the son of former Badnagar Congress MLA Murli Morwal. Karan was expelled by the Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) in 2022, for six years, over rape charges registered against him.
Karan was arrested in October 2021 after a woman lodged a rape complaint against him at women's police station in Indore, police officials were quoted by PTI. Police had even announced a reward of a？1 25,000 on his arrest back then.
On March 6, Karan posted pictures of him with Digvijay Singh and other Congress leaders. He said Digvijay Singh reached Badnagar to join Rahul Gandhi ji's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra.
Rahul Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra entered Madhya Pradesh on March 2. It reached Badnagar on March 6.
