BJP MLA Sengar’s brother among 5 charged for rape
The agency pointed that two boards were formed earlier and both have given different reasons as cause of death.
Lucknow: The CBI, on Saturday, filed a charge-sheet against five people in the case related to custodial death of the father of a minor victim in the Unnao rape case. The victim had died in police custody.
The CBI names Atul Senger, brother of Unnao MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, Vinay Misra, Birendra Singh, Shashi Pratap Singh, Ram Sharan Singh and Jaideep Singh in the murder case of Unnao rape victim’s father.
Earlier, the Allahabad high court had rejected the bail plea of the UP BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is the main accused in the gangrape of a minor girl and the murder of her father in Unnao.
A two-member bench comprising chief justice D.B. Bhosale and Justice Suneet Kumar stated that the CBI was investigating the case against him and others as per the law and the court cannot interfere and give any direction to the agency on the plea of an accused to affect its investigations.
Mr Sengar had alleged that the CBI was playing a partisan role in its investigation and was out to nail him without taking into account facts and evidences.
During arguments, the high court had also rejected the CBI plea to allow setting up a panel of AIIMS doctors to ascertain reasons behind the death of the victim’s father in police custody. The agency pointed that two boards were formed earlier and both have given different reasons as cause of death.
The judge also directed for the release of Shailendra Singh alias Shailu from jail, as the CBI has exonerated him from the case.
