The CBI conducted raids at least 17 places in Uttar Pradesh as part of their probe into the alleged rape of a teenage girl by expelled BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Sengar.
A CBI team had also gone to a jail in Sitapur, where Kuldeep Sengar has been lodged for over a year, on Saturday. They checked the visitors’ records and who the accused has been receiving at the prison.
“The CBI is conducting searches in four districts — Lucknow, Unnao, Banda and Fatehpur — and on some premises of the accused. Investigation is continuing,” the probe agency said in a statement.
The family of the girl has alleged Sengar engineered a road accident two weeks ago that left the rape survivor and her lawyer seriously injured and two of her aunts dead. Their car had a collision with a truck whose number plates were blackened. A separate probe into the accident is going on.
Notably, BJP expelled Kuldeep Sengar from the party on Thursday amid waves of public outrage over the rape survivor’s ordeal – from losing her father in police custody to two aunts dying in a road accident. One of the aunts was also a witness in the rape case.
Sengar allegedly raped the teenage girl in June 2017 in his hometown Unnao when she had come looking for a job.
