AMN / NEW DELHI
A Delhi court Monday directed that expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, accused of raping a minor girl at his residence in Unnao in 2017, be shifted to Delhi’s Tihar jail from Sitapur prison in Uttar Pradesh.
Sessions Judge Dharmesh Sharma put up the matter for argument on charges in the gang rape on August 7.
Both Sengar and his accomplice Shashi Singh, who had allegedly lured the victim into going to the legislator’s residence, were produced in the court in compliance with an order by District judge Dinesh Sharma. The court has also directed to shift Shashi Singh to Tihar jail.
Sengar and nine others were also booked recently for murder by the CBI after the rape survivor and her advocate was injured when a truck hit their car in Rae Bareli. Her two aunts were killed in the accident. The rape survivor’s family had alleged foul play.
