The family members of Vasundhara had alleged that Bhaiya Raja had also sexually exploited her.
Besides life imprisonment, Bhaiya Raja along with his wife and former BJP MLA Asha Rani had been convicted in a abetment of suicide case of their maid servant for 10 years.
He was elected as an Independent MLA from Pawai in Chhatarpur between 1990 and 1992.
