The CBI on Wednesday charge sheeted Uttar Pradesh BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar for the alleged rape of a minor girl in Unnao at his residence on June 4 last year, officials said here.

In the charge sheet filed in special CBI court here, Sengar and his associate Sashi Singh have been charged with criminal conspiracy and other offences under IPC and section 3 and 4 of the The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act) which relates to rape of minors.

The developmen­t came three months after the agency was handed over the probe in the alleged rape of the minor girl who was lured at the residence of the politician with the promise of job.

The agency has found that the minor girl was raped at the residence of the MLA on June 4, 2017 at 8 PM where she was taken by Sashi Singh, officials claimed.

The agency has alleged that the girl was again gang raped by a different set of people between June 11 and June 20, 2017 which is also

The officials said local police had not registered an FIR related to the alleged rape by the MLA which took place on June 4, adding they had only registered an FIR related to the gang rape.

The role of doctors, police and officials of district administra­tion is still under probe, they said.

The victim has alleged that she was raped by the MLA, they said.

Sengar, a four-time MLA who represents Bangermau in UP legislativ­e assembly, was arrested on April 13.

The case came to light after the victim allegedly attempted selfimmola­tion out Chief Minister Adityanath’s residence. France's Samuel Umtiti celebrates after scoring a goal during a semifinal match.
