"We have come here to investigate, and by this evening, I will send the interim report to the DGP and the state government."

When questions of whether there was any political pressure on the investigative team raised, Krishna said, "Thereis no pressure on the SIT. It is working independently."

The Police added, "The victim's family will be provided full security. They have a relative in Delhi, now it is their decision if they want to live here in Unnao or in Delhi."

On Sunday, the woman, along with her family members, tried to commit suicide in front of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath 's home in Lucknow, alleging that she was raped by BJP MLA from Unnao Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his associate accomplice.

On Tuesday, the MLA's brother Atul Singh along with three others was arrested from Unnao on the directions of the Uttar Pradesh Director General of Police (DGP) DGP, by the Lucknow crime branch team.

The victim's family had alleged that the accused MLA's brother had thrashed the victim's father on April 3 for refusing to withdraw the FIR.

As many as six police personnel were also suspended for allegedly beating up the victim's father.

However, the accused BJP MLA on Monday denied to resign from his post following the allegations of rape against him and went on to dismiss the entire incident saying the allegations were completely false.
