Suspended BJP leader Seema Patra was planning to take her tribal help Sunita Khakha, who was allegedly kept captive and tortured for many years, to an ashram in Varanasi and dump her there, despite "not being able to walk or go to toilet on her own", according to the original complaint with the Jharkhand Police.

Vivek Anand Baskey, a government official and friend of Patra's son Aayushman, who filed the complaint on the basis of which the 29-year-old tribal girl was rescued by police, also claimed that the mother had tried to have her son committed to a mental hospital.
