NEW DELHI: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Saturday said he has filed a privilege case under Article 105 of the Constitution against four senior Jharkhand officials — the chief secretary, DGP, Deoghar deputy commissioner, and superintendent of police.
The move comes a day after Dubey and five others, including fellow BJP MP Manoj Tiwari, were booked for allegedly forcing their way into the sanctum sanctorum of Deoghar’s Baba Baidyanath Dham Temple on August 2, despite a ban on VIP entry during the holy “Shravan” month.
“I am a trustee of the temple, born in Deoghar and a son of the soil. It should be probed how those who complained against me were allowed into the sanctum sanctorum,” the Godda MP wrote on X, questioning how many more cases would be lodged against him beyond the 51 he was already facing before the latest one.
Dubey said he went to the police station to court arrest as promised but was turned away. He told reporters that, as a Member of Parliament, he ranks “a step ahead of the priest” in the temple hierarchy.
The FIR, based on a complaint by temple priest Kartik Nath Thakur, alleges that the MPs and their group entered the sanctum sanctorum between 8:45 pm and 9 pm on the day of the incident.
