A murder case has been filed against Uttar Pradesh BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who allegedly raped a 17-year-old girl in 2017. He has been accused by the survivor's mother of being involved in yesterday's accident that left the two of them seriously injured and two other family members dead. The woman and her lawyer are in hospital. The state police chief said the woman is out of danger and added that preliminary investigations indicate an accident. However, he has said that the police is open to a CBI investigation if the family wants.
Several politicians, including Mayawati and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, have reacted to the incident, with the BSP chief suggesting that the incident was a conspiracy to kill the survivor.
