Fresh charge sheet against 3 out on bail in Unnao case

NEWDELHI: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a charge sheet on Thursday against three persons including Shubham Singh, son of Shashi Singh – a close aide of suspended BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar -- in a separate case related to alleged gang rape of Unnao rape survivor on June 11, 2017, when she was a minor.

A CBI official confirmed that the charge sheet has been filed against Shubham Singh, Naresh Tiwari and Brijesh Yadav, who had allegedly abducted the girl and raped her in a moving car, allegedly a week after Kuldeep Singh Senger sexually assaulted her at his residence (on June 4, 2017). The charge sheet has been filed before the court of district judge Dharmesh Sharma, said the official. The court has listed the case for October 10 after the investigative agency sought time to file additional documents and list of witnesses to be examined in support of the prosecution version. All three accused named in the fresh charge sheet are currently out on bail.
