Swinging into action amid strident demands from Opposition for an inquiry into the road accident in which the Unnao rape survivor and her lawyer received grievous injuries, the Uttar Pradesh police on Monday named the accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar among ten people in the FIR in the case, charging them with murder.
A car in which the 19-year old woman, her family and lawyer were travelling was hit by an overspeeding truck in Rae Bareli on Sunday, killing two members and leaving her and the advocate critically injured.
Sengar, a four-time MLA who represents Bangermau in the Uttar Pradesh assembly, is an accused in the rape case and was arrested on April 13 last year.
