Woman who accused BJP MLA of rape hit by truck; critical
The Unnao woman who accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar of raping her, was critically injured on Sunday when her car was hit by a truck in Rae Bareli.
Kanpur: The Unnao woman who accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar of raping her, was critically injured on Sunday when her car was hit by a truck in Rae Bareli.
The victim was accompanied by her aunt and lawyer Mahendra Singh, both of whom died in the accident. The woman has been rushed to a Lucknow hospital.
The woman was on her way to meet her uncle Mahesh Singh, who is lodged in Rae Bareli jail.
The woman has alleged that she was raped by the BJP MLA at his residence in June 2017. Her father was booked by the police for illegal possession of firearms and put in jail in April 2018 after her family filed a case against the BJP MLA.
The woman, who was a teenager then, attempted self-immolation in front of the chief minister Yogi Adityanath's residence on April 8 alleging inaction on the part of police in filing a case against the BJP member.
Her father died the day after, hours after he collapsed in prison, where he had been detained, of injuries he allegedly sustained after being beaten up by the MLA's men.
BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar, along with his brother Atul Singh, is in jail since 2018.
