Chandigarh, January 13: Vikas Barala, the son of Haryana BJP’s chief Subhash Barala, claimed innocence in a video uploaded on YouTube a day after being released on bail in the Varnika Kundu stalking case.
In the video, Barala says, “There are no charges of eve-teasing or molestation against me either in the FIR or court. These are all false, baseless and only rumours.”
“You all have been hearing a lot about me. I am completely innocent and all charges levelled against me are false and baseless. In reality, I am myself a victim in this case,” he says. He also alleges that he was made a target by some in an attempt to tarnish his father’s political image. “My father is the state president of a political party and many parties are targeting me.”
Vikas Barala further goes on to say: “Political circumstances were so grave that my father could not meet me or my lawyer, lest people start accusing a father of unduly helping his son.”
He ends the video reiterating his claim of being innocent and appeals to people to ‘only believe in facts of the case’.
