LUCKNOW: In a scathing judgement, the Allahabad High Court Chief Justice Dilip B Bhosale on Friday said that the father of the Unnao Rape victim may not have died if the Police had acted on the complaint made to CM Yogi Adityanath by the rape victim against MLA Kuldeep Sengar way ago in August last year.The HC lambasted Adityanath’s government for being “directly in league and under influence of the MLA” and delaying his arrest. CBI on Friday arrested Sengar.The HC said the victim had filed a complaint against the MLA with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s office on August 17, 2017 but police did not take any action on the same though it was sent forward to Unnao police by the CM’s special secretary. Adityanath on Friday had claimed he had first learnt of the matter only on April 9 and he immediately set up an SIT and later marked a CBI probe.“The disturbing feature of the case is that the law and order machinery and government officials were directly in league and under the influence of Sengar.The doctor did not examine the victim and the police did not register the crime, though hand written complaint of the victim was sent from the office of the CM. On petty offence, her father was beaten up by the brother and the goons of Sengar and was arrested and in the custody was beaten mercilessly.The victim has lost her father merely because cognizance was not taken of her complaint made in August 2017. Had the police taken cognizance of the complaint to the CM and forwarded to the concerned police station at that stage, perhaps, further damage, including the death of her father would not have taken place,” the HC said.The HC said the events of the case “clearly reflect that the accused has been using his office and influence with impunity to tamper evidence and witnesses and further has exercised undue influence with the law and order machinery to manipulate and coerce the family members of the victim and brutally assaulted her father.
