On Wednesday, two cops of Makhi (Unnao) police station were arrested for allegedly framing the rape victim’s father in a false case. They are in a three-day CBI custody since Friday. Earlier, the MLA had been booked for rape and kidnapping of the teenage girl while his brother, Atul Singh Sengar, and his five aides were booked for the murder of the rape victim’s father. A CBI official quoted by Hindustan Times said that the fresh charges were slapped on the MLA on the basis of revelations made by the two cops detained – former station house officer of Makhi police station Ashok Singh Bhadauria and sub-inspector Kamta Prasad Singh of the same police station. “The MLA will be quizzed about the fresh case during the two-day custody and will be brought face-to-face with the cops,” the official said, as per the report. He further said that they would get custody of Sengar, who is presently lodged in Sitapur jail , from Sunday morning.
