Police issued non-bailable warrants against UP Minister Gayatri Prajapati and six others who are accused of gangrape. Prajapati's passport has also been revoked for 4 weeks and a look out circular too has been issued.
Meanwhile, yesterday all airports and exit points across the country were put on high alert to prevent the minister from fleeing the country.
Prajapati has been charged with raping a woman and attacking her daughter.
Intelligence agencies have learnt that the Samajwadi Party minister, who is also contesting the Uttar Pradesh assembly election from
Amethi, plans to leave the country to avoid arrest.
According to official sources, a Letter of Cancellation (LC) will soon be opened against him and all airports have been alerted to prevent the 49-year-old Prajapati from fleeing abroad.
A letter of cancellation is a technical term used for alerting immigration authorities about any possible move by a suspect to leave the country.
Whenever the passport of a suspect comes for immigration clearance at any exit point of the country, the computer screen warns the official to not let the person leave.
