On Sunday, the woman had tried to immolate herself near Adityanath's Lucknow residence, but police foiled the immolation bid. She had alleged that the Unnao police didn't register a case against Kuldeep Singh Sengar despite her complaint and that no action was taken, police said.
However, Sengar rejected the charge as a conspiracy by his opponents and said the complainant "belong to a low-status family (minister ke log hain)...This is a conspiracy by my opponents," he told reporters.
"I have no problem with any probe. Let a probe be conducted, and the guilty be given the stringent punishment. If I am found guilty in the probe, I am ready to face punishment," Sengar had said.
