The woman, who accused Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) leader Prince Raj Paswan, of rape demanded Rs 1 crore from Lok Sabha MP from Bihar's Samastipur, claimed Paswan's lawyer Nitesh Rana on Tuesday.

Prince, who is also the president of the Bihar unit of the party, was booked in the national capital on September 9 for allegedly raping a former party member.

While speaking to ANI, Rana said, "The rape case against my client is a frivolous case. My client is innocent. The complainant and her friend have been extorting him since 2020 and my client lodged an FIR of extortion in the Parliament Street Police Station on February 10 this year. She threatened to malign his reputation if he did not pay the extortion amount. He gave her Rs 2 Lakh but the extortion still continued. After the filing of FIR by my client, both the complainant and her friend had to take an anticipatory bail from the court."
