Kolkata, Feb 25 BJP youth wing leader Pamela Goswami, who was arrested by the West Bengal Police in Kolkata for possession of 100 gms cocaine, has made sensational allegations against senior BJP leader Rakesh Singh -- a co-accused in the case. Pamela Goswami, who appeared before an NDPS court today as her fiveday police custody ended, reiterated that she had fallen victim to a conspiracy hatched by Bengal BJP leader Rakesh Singh. Chanting 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' as she exited the court, Pamela Goswami said the truth will come out and that unlike Rakesh Singh, she didn't run away from the law. "I fell victim to a conspiracy. If Rakesh Singh is not at fault then why was he fleeing? Why he was caught from Galsi?" Pamela Goswami asked. She went on to allege that Rakesh Singh had become interested in her and when she refused his advances, he became enraged and tried to falsely implicate her. "The story behind this case is that he (Rakesh Singh) has been interested in me for a long time. When I didn't care for him, he became more furious and aggressive," Pamela Goswami said. The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leader also alleged that Rakesh Singh physically harassed her and even threatened to attack her with acid.
