Murder case against jailed BJP legislator Kuldeep Sengar

The Uttar Pradesh police have filed a murder case against Bharatiya Janata Party lawmaker Kuldeep Sengar and others on a complaint filed by the family of Unnao rape survivor who met with a car crash on Sunday afternoon.
The rape survivor’s two aunts died in the crash. She and her lawyer are on life support. “Their condition is critical,” said Prof Sandip Tiwari, head of trauma surgery at the King George’s Medical University.
The police case against the BJP legislator and 10 others who are accused in a rape case filed by the survivor was registered on a complaint by her family who alleged the head-on collision between their car and a truck was a “conspiracy”.
Senior police officers had initially rejected the allegation but as opposition parties stepped in and attempted to corner the BJP over the crash, the state’s police leadership registered the case to signal that it had an open mind.
The Yogi Adityanath government had been blamed for sitting on its hands when the Unnao teenager had first accused the lawmaker of rape.
The police finally got moving after the Allahabad High Court took up the teenager’s case and ordered the police to arrest the powerful BJP MLA. The case, which had hugely embarrassed the ruling BJP, was eventually transferred to the CBI.
The teenager’s mother wants the car crash with the truck to be probed by the central agency as well.
“He (Kuldeep Sengar) wanted to kill the victim as well as my family. Earlier my husband was killed in police custody,” she told reporters.
