Hemant Katare is a politician from Madhya Pradesh, India. He was a MLA from Ater (Vidhan Sabha constituency). He is a son of former Home Minister and Leader of opposition of M.P. Late shri Satyadev Katare.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Legal affairs
Bhopal police booked the former Congress MLA for allegedly abducting, raping a journalism student. After a series of rape allegations against him, the MLA claimed that the complainant was blackmailing him. A classic example of how political power garnered nepotism is misused.[7][8] He is the son of former leader of opposition Satyadev Katare.
Katare who stands accused of targeting and assaulting a Dalit was absconding for a while. He surrendered before the court in April and was granted bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 100,000.[9]
