Unnao rape: CBI makes second arrest; Sengar sent to seven-day custody

The girl, after failing to get justice for about a year, tried to immolate herself in front of chief minister Adityanatah’s residence.

Meanwhile, the Samajwadi Party claims the purported audio clip brings to fore the modus operandi used by the BJP government to deal with criminals across the state. There are three vacancies in the council of ministers as the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) had last month removed its finance minister Haseeb Drabu unceremoniously, the officials mentioned above said.

According to the CBI FIR, Singh has been named as an accomplice of BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who was arrested on Friday.

“The situation at that time was such that both these ministers had to be sent to pacify the mob”, he said.

The members of the Dalit community raised slogans at the GEB Circle area on Race Course against other party leaders and Gandhi, the Women and Child Development minister who was in the city to attend a number of events.

She said, “They should not have protested”.

In wake of such incidents, it is necessary to change the thinking of society.

Madhav maintained that the two BJP leaders had gone to Kathua in March to pacify the public and also to look into the matter of the gruesome crime.

Madhav accused the Congress party of playing double standards. He urged the State government to press the Centre to give its approval.

Citing a recent high court order, Surjewala said: “In a damning rebuke to the BJP’s claims, the Allahabad High Court has unravelled the real truth of the Unnao rape case”.

“The directive (of Tribal Affairs Department) issued to different districts must be withdrawn”. We told them they should go back.

He said that in 2013, they had formed the Endosulfan Virodhi Horata Samiti and fought till the State government released funds for the rehabilitation of endosulfan victims.

The killing in the city of Kathua has heightened communal tensions in India’s only Muslim-majority state.

In a series of tweets, Bharadwaj, who is also on the media panel of the party, said the conduct of the government was very dismaying and that the blot of Unnao incident would never be washed away.
