Allahabad HC to pronounce order in Unnao rape case tomorrow
Allahabad, Apr 12 (IBNS): The Allahabad High Court is all set to pronounce its order in the Unnao rape case on Friday.
The order is scheduled to be pronounced at 2PM.
Earlier on Thursday, the court questioned the Uttar Pradesh government for not arresting BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who has been charged with raping a minor girl in Unnao town of the state.
Meanwhile, the UP police has informed that they won't arrest the BJP lawmaker as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing the case.
Yogi Adityanath-led government ordered the police to file a case against the lawmaker.
The government has reportedly directed to hand over the cases related to the incident to the CBI.
The minor girl had alleged that she was raped by Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the BJP legislator from Unnao, and his brother last year, but the police refused to take any action against them.
On Apr 8, the rape victim along with his family tried to commit suicide in front of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's residence in Lucknow.
She also claimed that her family was being threatened after they tried to file an FIR.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was also formed on Tuesday to investigate the case after the father of the girl died on Monday morning at the district hospital.
The autopsy report revealed that the father succumbed to septicaemia.
According to the postmortem report, the father was not given proper treatment at the judicial custody.
The man was in judicial custody after a complaint was filed against his daughter's alleged rapists.
Earlier on Tuesday, the brother of Sengar was arrested by the police.
Meanwhile, Sengar's wife, who met UP DGP OP Singh in Lucknow on Wednesday, demanded a CBI probe into the matter.
