A court on Friday rejected the bail application filed by former minister Babulal Nagar, accused of raping a married woman, his lawyer said.
The Central Bureau of Investigation had filed a charge-sheet on December nine in the district and sessions court here against Nagar under Section 306 (rape), 323 (causing hurt) and 506 (intimidation).
A 35-year-old woman has alleged that Nagar raped her on September 11.
Nagar's lawyer Amar Singh said an application seeking bail was filed in the court of district and sessions judge Virendra Mathur.
"The court on Friday rejected the bail application," Singh said.
Nagar, 53, resigned from the state cabinet two days after the police complaint was registered on September 17. He was minister of state for dairy and rural industries in the previous Congress government.
In her complaint, the woman alleged that Nagar called her to his official residence on the pretext of giving her a government job and raped her.
