CBI brings MLA Sengar face to face with two cops

LUCKNOW: BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and two cops of Makhi (Unnao) police station were brought face to face by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday in a case of criminal conspiracy “for framing the teenage rape victim’s father in a false case.”

A senior CBI official said MLA Sengar, whose custody was taken from Sitapur jail on Sunday morning, was brought face to face with the two cops, former station house officer of Makhi police station Ashok Singh Bhadauria and sub-inspector Kamta Prasad Singh of the same police station, to correlate the sequence of incidents told by them.

He said the two cops, who are in three-day custody of CBI since Friday morning, had revealed during interrogation that they had framed the victim’s father in false case of possessing illegal firearms after the MLA’s brother and his aides had beaten him up brutally on April 3 and the MLA mounted pressure on him to do so.

The CBI has procured twoday custody of the MLA in the criminal conspiracy case. He said two cops of Makhi (Unnao) police station were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly framing the rape victim’s father in a false case.

The victim’s father had suffered multiple injuries in the attack, allegedly by MLA’s brother and his goons on April 3, but the two cops sent him to jail without providing him proper medical treatment. He died on April 9 during treatment at Unnao district hospital, where he was shifted after his condition deteriorated on night of April 8.

The MLA and his woman aide were earlier booked for rape and kidnapping of the teenage girl while the MLA’s brother Atul Singh Sengar and his five aides were booked for the murder of the rape victim’s father. In five separate FIRs registered in the Unnao rape and murder cases, the CBI so far have arrested 10 people, including MLA Sengar, his brother Atul and their six aides, including a woman aide Shashi Singh, after taking up the case on April 13.
