Unnao (UP): After the SC ordered that the Unnao rape survivor, her mother, and other family members will be provided security by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the security forces on Friday reached the King Georges Medical University's Trauma Centre in the state capital. The CRPF is currently deployed at the third and the fourth floor of the trauma centre. In the case, the accused truck driver and cleaner will appear before a special CBI court in Lucknow on Friday. For the same, the jailer had asked SP Raibareilly for additional security forces. Acting in compliance with a Supreme Court order, the Unnao district administration in Uttar Pradesh had sent a cheque of Rs 25 lakh on Thursday to the Lucknow district magistrate for handing it over to the rape survivor's family. Earlier on Thursday, the Supreme Court directed the transfer of all five cases registered in connection with the Unnao rape incident from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi. "As per directives of the additional chief secretary (home), a cheque of Rs 25 lakh for the family of the rape survivor has been prepared and it has been sent to the district magistrate of Lucknow," Unnao District Magistrate Devendra Kumar Pandey said. The woman was travelling with her family when a truck hit their car in Rae Bareli district on Sunday. Two relatives were killed, while the rape survivor and her lawyer suffered critical injuries and are undergoing treatment at a Lucknow hospital. The family has alleged there was a conspiracy behind the incident. Faced with the rising tide of anger against Kuldeep Sengar, who is already in jail on charges of raping the Unnao woman, the BJP expelled the four-time MLA. The action came four days after the young woman, who alleged that Sengar raped her at his residence in 2017 when she was a minor, and her lawyer were critically injured and two of her aunts killed when their car was hit by a speeding truck in Uttar Pradesh's Rae Bareli district.
