CBI registers case against suspended BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar including 10 other accused in a case related to the Unnao rape survivor's accident which took place on Sunday night.
CBI has also registered a case against 20 unknown persons under the charges of criminal conspiracy, murder, attempt to murder & criminal intimidation.
The accident occurred when the rape survivor, her lawyer and two aunts were travelling from Fatehpur to Rae Bareli jail to meet her uncle who is lodged there.
Meanwhile, 40 hours after the incident, the condition of the Unnao rape survivor remains critical.
The woman and her lawyer Mahendra Singh were rushed to the King George’s Medical University Trauma Centre in Lucknow on Monday after a car they were travelling in hit a truck, leaving them both critically injured and killing two of her relatives.
Amid intense political scrutiny of the accident and demands for a CBI probe, conflicting reports have emerged on the sequence of events. While some reports have quoted officials as saying that an over-speeding truck rammed into the car, the other version says the truck was stationary when the car crashed into it.
The woman, who belongs to Makhi police station area in Unnao, had in 2017 alleged that Kuldeep Sengar, a four-time BJP MLA who represents Bangermau in the UP Assembly, had raped her at his residence.
The case came to light after the survivor allegedly attempted self-immolation outside Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's residence.
