Face of Nation : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Sunday held searches at multiple locations in connection with the Unnao rape survivor’s accident case, PTI reported. While the details of the searches have been withheld as the raids are underway, it is believed that 17 locations are being searched, officials told PTI.
On July 28, the Unnao woman, who has accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar of sexual assault, was critically injured along with her lawyer after the vehicle they were travelling in was hit by a truck in Rae Bareli. Two of the victim’s aunt were killed in the incident.
Following the incident, the BJP leader, his younger brother Manoj Sengar and 8 others were booked on charges of attempt to murder and criminal conspiracy. The police also invoked criminal intimidation charges on allegations that accused were threatening and harassing the rape victim’s family.
Sengar, who has been lodged in Sitapur jail on rape charges since last year, was booked for alleged conspiracy and also questioned by a three-member CBI team on Saturday. The case is being investigated by CBI on a recommendation sent by the state government.
