Unnao rape case: Prime accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar booked for conspiracy to frame rape victim's father in false case

The Uttar Pradesh's Unnao rape case had a new twist when CBI booked BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar for allegedly conspiring to falsely implicate the rape victim's father in the false case. The Unnao rape victim's father died in the judicial custody on April 9.

A CBI official said call records of the complainant and policemen posted at the police station where the case was lodged suggested they were in touch with the MLA on April 3, the day the case was lodged.

A special CBI court sent the Bangarmau MLA to two days' police custody on Saturday and the agency plots to question the lawmaker with the evidence they have gathered and the two policemen arrested earlier said the official.

According to India Express, CBI arrested former Makhi police station officer Ashok Singh Bhadauriya and SI Kamta Prasad Singh on Wednesday for allegedly framing the rape victim’s father in an Arms Act case and forging government records. They are in a three-day police custody, which ends Monday.

“During the investigation, we came to know that Bhadauriya and Kamta Prasad forged records to show that a firearm was recovered from him,” said a CBI official.

“While scanning call records of the policemen, we found they were regularly in contact with the MLA who was in Delhi on April 3. Tinku Singh’s call records also suggested he was in touch with the MLA on April 3.”

On April 3, an FIR was lodged against the rape victim’s father under different charges, including sections of Arms Act, on a complaint by one Tinku Singh.
