Unnao rape case: CBI sends back BJP MLA, his associate to jail after end of remand
After medical check-up, the CBI sent back the BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his associate Shashi Singh back to jail, three hours before their remand ended at 1 pm on Friday.
After medical check-up, the CBI sent back the BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his associate Shashi Singh back to jail, three hours before their remand ended at 1 pm on Friday.
The CBI had got the medical check-up of both the accused done in Lucknow. It took them to Unnao on Friday morning and sent them back into the Unnao Jail and informed the court. Sengar is facing rape charges under POCSO Act while his associate is charged with taking the victim to the BJP MLA for the crime on the pretext of getting her a job in June last year.
The investigating agency is likely to seek permission from the Special CBI Court Unnao to allow Sengar’s potency test. While BJP MLA was under its remand, the CBI had gone to the King George’s Medical University and also at Lohia Hopsital for Sengar’s potency test but the same was not available at both hospitals.
Now the investigating agency is planning to file an application in the court to seek permission for allowing Sengar to be taken to SGPGI in Lucknow or AIIMS in Delhi for conducting the potency test on the arrested BJP MLA.
In the past 15 days, the CBI has collected adequate material evidences, documents and recorded statements of all accused, victim and her family members. It is now busy in piecing together sequence of events leading to rape of the victim and murder of her father to draft status report which will be submitted at the Allahabad High Court on May 2.
