Unnao case: CBI gets 3 days custody remand of two policemen

LUCKNOW: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday got the three day custody remand of suspended station house officer (SHO) and sub inspector (SI) of Makhi police station in Unnao.

The duo were arrested for their alleged connivance with BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his aides in attacking and sending the teenage rape victim’s father to jail in a false case.

The CBI team will now rigorously interrogate the two cops— SHO Ashok Singh Bhadauria and SI Kamta Prasad Singh, who were produced before the Lucknow CBI court on Thursday. The custody remand period will start from Friday morning and last till Monday morning.

A senior CBI official said the two policemen will be quizzed about the sequence of event since April 3 when the victim girl’s father was allegedly beaten up by the BJP MLA’s brother Atul Singh Sengar and his goons in which he suffered multiple injuries.
