Lucknow: Expelled BJP leader Dayashankar Singh’s wife Swati on Friday alleged that she and her minor daughter were being threatened and harassed by Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) activists and lodged an FIR against party chief Mayawati for the 'mental trauma' her family was being subjected to.
A case was registered at the Lucknow police station, based on the complaint of Dayashankar's wife and his mother under the sections 120b ( Punishment of criminal conspiracy), 153A (promoting enmity), 506 (criminal intimidation), 509 (insulting the modesty of woman) of IPC. Mayawati and three other BSP leaders were named in the FIR.
Dayashankar Singh is facing arrest for making derogatory remarks against BSP chief Mayawati and her supporters have been making vicious attacks against him ever since.
"I will lodge an FIR against Mayawati ji over the mental trauma faced by my family. He has been removed from all party posts, he has even been sacked from the party, but Mayawati is still not satisfied. If she puts her mind to it, she could even get him beheaded," Swati Singh had earlier said.

Singh’s wife alleged that BSP activists were openly asking people to call her and were abusing her 12-year-old daughter.
"BSP activists are summoning me and my daughter, they are abusing her. My daughter is traumatised, is this not condemnable? Should she not sack her party members for abusing us?" Singh’s wife said.
She asked if Mayawati would take responsibility if anything happened to her or her minor daughter.

Earlier on Thursday, BSP MLA Usha Chaudhary on Thursday was caught on camera calling the suspended Uttar Pradesh BJP vice-president an 'illegitimate child'.
"Since the BJP came to power, the Dalits have been tortured. The BJP Government protected those who should be put behind the bars. Based on what Dayashankar Singh said about Mayawati ji, I think its Dayashankar's family which is like that. There is something wrong with Dayashankar Singh's DNA, I think he is an illegitimate child, that is why he made such a remark," she said.
The Uttar Pradesh Police has said that Singh left for an 'unknown location' when the cops arrived at his residence to arrest him.
Balia Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar Jha said that their efforts to locate and nab Singh would continue.
BSP workers staged protests across several cities of the nation over Singh's derogatory remark and demanded his arrest on Thursday.
The BJP yesterday expelled Dayashankar from the party for six years.
