The CBI has registered three separate cases related to the alleged rape of a woman by a BJP MLA and his brother late in the night, officials said here today. Banagarmau MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar is being questioned by the CBI officers, they said. The victim had attempted suicide outside the residence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath triggering a massive political row over women's safety in Uttar Pradesh.
Later, the state police had arrested her father who died in judicial custody with autopsy suggesting several injuries on his body. The Uttar Pradesh government had referred the matter to the CBI which registered the case after getting the reference from the centre last night.
