Chief Minsiter Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday directed the home department to ensure that the SIT visits Unnao and submits a report on 18-year-old woman’s gang-rape and her father’s custodial death case by Wednesday evening.
This came hours after the police arrested Atul Singh, brother of a BJP MLA, in connection with the same, as an SIT was formed to probe the incident.
A plea was also moved in the Supreme Court for a CBI probe in the matter.
"The Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by Additional Director General (ADG) of Police (Lucknow zone) will go into the entire gamut of issues involved in the incident," ADG (Law and Order) Anand Kumar told a press conference here.
A home department spokesman said a case had been registered against Atul Singh under various IPC sections including 302 (murder).
The victim has alleged that she was raped by BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his brothers, and blamed the lawmaker for her father's death.
The BJP MLA, however, has rejected the charges as a "conspiracy" by his opponents.
