Jaipur, June 29: Rajasthan BJP today demanded a probe into the alleged suicide by a Congress councillor of Chaksu municipality here on Friday alleging that an extra-marital affair of the deceased with a Congress MLA led to her death. According to BJP Yuva Morcha leader Basant Choudhary, it was an extra-marital affair between the two Congress leaders and that the MLA Ashok Tanwar should own moral responsibility for the act and resign from assembly membership.

Chaudhary said there were enough evidences of mobile phone calls between the two before the suicide incident.

When contacted Tanwar said: "There was no charge against me in the FIR lodged by the police. Hence the charges are baseless and I have nothing to do with her suicide".

Tanwar, who represents Phagi assembly constituency covering Chaksu municipality, said: "It was I who gave the party ticket to Rinku (the deceased councillor) for civic elections but that did not mean any personal relationship. I am ready for any probe by anybody in this case".

Chaudhary said a mahila morcha team would visit Chaksu tomorrow to study the situation.

Rinku Sharma allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence on Friday.
