New Delhi: Rape-accused Uttar Pradesh MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his accomplice, Shashi Singh, are likely to be produced before a Delhi court on August 5. The duo will be produced in the court in pursuance to an order by district judge Dinesh Sharma here. The court has also issued production warrants against the other accused in the case for their presence on August 6. The case pertains to the rape of a minor girl allegedly by the lawmaker at his residence in Unnao on June 4, 2017, where she had gone to seek a job. He was lodged in Sitapur district jail in Uttar Pradesh.

Sengar was expelled from the BJP last week. Accused Shashi Singh had allegedly lured the victim into going to Sengar's residence. A few days earlier, Sengar and nine others were booked for murder by the CBI after the rape survivor and the advocate were injured when a truck hit their car in Rae Bareli. Her two aunts were killed in the accident. The rape survivor's family alleged foul play.

Pray for complete recovery of Unnao rape survivor: Sengar

Sengar, jailed in a case of rape of a minor girl, claimed on Sunday that there was a "political conspiracy" to frame him and demanded a thorough probe into the car crash that left the rape survivor injured and two dead. "I would also pray to God that both the advocate and the pidhitaa (Unnao rape survivor) recover fully," Sengar told reporters outside Sitapur jail when he was being taken to Delhi. He was being taken to Delhi by a CBI team, the Sitapur jail superintendent said.

The rape survivor and the advocate were injured on Sunday when a truck hit their car in Rae Bareli. Her two aunts were killed in the accident. Sengar and nine others were booked for murder by the CBI after the rape survivor's family alleged foul play. "There should be thorough probe to ascertain whether it was an accident or a conspiracy. All the angles must be probed. All this is a political conspiracy aimed at me."

"All the allegations, which have been levelled against me are political in nature. If helping someone is a crime, then what will we people from politics do? Some people have become weak and have resorted to political conspiracy against me," he said. He also demanded an impartial probe into the entire incident.
