NEW DELHI: Following Unnao rape case, The CBI has registered three separate cases related to the alleged rape of a woman by a BJP MLA and his brother, officials said on Friday.
AS per reports of TOI Banagarmau MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar is being questioned by the CBI officers, they said.
The victim had attempted suicide outside the home of UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath triggering a huge political row over women's protection in saffron-led Uttar Pradesh.
Victim women asked for in front of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath''s house to take action against the BJP MLA who raped her. Police detained her father and her, instead of the MLA. Next morning, her father died under police custody, with autopsy suggesting a number of injuries on his body.
The Uttar Pradesh government had referred the heated discussion to the CBI which registered the case after getting the reference from the Centre last night.
Under the pressure and massive uproar, The UP government had yesterday decided to lodge an FIR against MLA Sengar in the case and refer it to the CBI for investigation. The government also decided to recommend a CBI investigation into the alleged murder of the rape survivor’s father in judicial custody.
The government decision for a CBI probe came just after Sengar made an appearance at the official residence of Lucknow police chief to publicize that he had no alleged role in the rape of the teenager and death of her father.
