TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday filed a chargesheet in the Unnao rape survivor”s accident case against former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, among others. The woman, who was allegedly raped by Sengar in 2017 at a time when she was a minor, suffered grievous injuries in July when a truck rammed into the car she was in, killing two of her relatives, in Rae Bareli district.
The chargesheet against Sengar and others was filed before the Special Judicial Magistrate in Lucknow, a senior official familiar with the probe confirmed. Interestingly, the CBI in the chargesheet did not slap murder charges on Sengar, who has been booked under Sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy) and 506(2) (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
However, the investigators have booked the truck driver, Ashok Kumar Pal, under Sections 304-A, 338 and 279 of the IPC. Meanwhile in Delhi, while hearing a separate case relating to the gang-rape of the woman, Special Judge Dharmesh Sharma on Friday took cognizance of the chargesheet filed in this connection by the CBI.
