NEW DELHI: BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar , who is accused of raping a 17-year-old minor girl, was today arrested by the CBI."We have arrested Kuldeep Sengar on charges of prima facie rape. There are certain inconsistencies in statements over the June 4 incident for which we require his custody. He will be produced before local CBI court in Lucknow tomorrow," said a CBI source in Lucknow.Earlier today, the BJP MLA was detained by the CBI from his Lucknow residence for questioning.The CBI's early morning move came on a day the Allahabad High Court came down heavily on the Adityanath government over Unnao case, asking it to arrest the accused MLA.Earlier, the UP government had handed over three cases of alleged rape of the woman and custodial death of her father after a Special Investigation Team, constituted under Additional Director General of Police (Lucknow zone) Rajeev Krishna, looked into the matter and submitted its report to the government on Wednesday evening.The agency took immediate action by re-registering the FIRs lodged by the Uttar Pradesh police and brought the four-time MLA to its Lucknow office at around 5 am for questioning.The first FIR pertains to the alleged rape of the girl in which Sengar and a woman, Shashi Singh, have been named as the accused.The second one pertains to rioting, in which four locals have been booked, and also the alleged killing of the victim's father in judicial custody. Since the murder charge was added subsequently by the state police, it does not reflect in the CBI FIR.The third case pertains to the allegations against the victim's father, who was arrested under the Arms Act and put in jail by the police, where he died.According to the post-mortem report, he had suffered serious injuries.The victim had alleged that on June 4, 2017, she was raped by the MLA at his residence, when she had gone to meet him, along with a relative, seeking a job.In February, the girl's family had moved the court, seeking to include the MLA's name in the case. Subsequently, the victim's father was booked by the police under the Arms Act on April 3 and put in jail on April 5.Frustrated with the alleged police inaction on her complaint and coercion from influential people, the victim had attempted self-immolation in front of chief minister Adityanath's residence on April 8.The next day, her father had died in jail with the post-mortem report suggesting serious injuries on his body.A video, purportedly showing the victim's father before his death, has gone viral. Several television news channels have also aired it.In the video, the victim's father alleged that he was mercilessly beaten up, including with rifle butts, by the MLA's brother and others in the presence of police personnel.
