Rape Accused MLA Kuldeep Sengar Booked For Murder After 'Accident' Kills Survivor's Aunt

BJP MLA from Unnao UP, Kuldeep Sengar his brother Manoj Singh Sengar and eight others have been booked under murder charges after a road accident that killed Unnao rape survivor's aunt.?

Two relatives of the rape victim were killed in the accident near Rae Bareli which also seriously injured her lawyer.

The accident happened on Sunday when they were returning from Rae Bareli after meeting her uncle who was jailed on forgery charges.

The vehicle they were traveling was hit by a truck which was overspeeding and was driving on the wrong side and had its number plate blacked out.

Given how in the past the father of the girl was killed and a key witness died under mysterious circumstances, many had expressed doubts over the accident.

Even the girl's family had claimed that it was a conspiracy to eliminate them.?

The UP Police which initially ruled out the conspiracy angle has however decided to hand over the investigation of the incident to the CBI. "The state government is ready for recommending a CBI probe into the Sunday's mishap in Rae Bareli if the victim's mother or any relative makes any request in this regard," Director General of Police O P Singh said.

Earlier, Delhi commission for women chairman Swati Maliwal had met the victim who is admitted at the trauma centre of the Lucknow's King George's Medical University. "We will fight for the girl to get justice. The family has alleged that the accident was a conspiracy," she said.

The case dates back to 2017 when the complainant who was a minor at the time had gone to meet Senger at his home to seek a job. She was allegedly kidnapped and raped by the MLA and his associates.?
