Unnao Rape-accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar Sent To Police Custody For Seven Days. Full Details Here Earlier in April 2018, a case was registered against Unnao rape accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar under section 363, 366, 376, 506 and Pocso Act of Indian Penal Code and was sent to jail. Sengar along with his brother Atul Singh is in jail since then. What is the Unnao Rape Case? The 17-year-old victim was allegedly raped by BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar on 4 June 2017. After accusing him, in April 2018, the victim had attempted to self-immolate before the Uttar Pradesh chief minister's residence. Following that, her father was assaulted, allegedly by the rape-accused BJP MLA's brother Atul Singh Sengar. Before succumbing to his injuries, the victim's father had named Atul Singh Sengar as his assaulter in video testimony. Sengar's formal arrest was immediately preceded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi breaking his silence on the Unnao and Kathua rape cases and assuring that the government of India would fulfill its duty by going to any lengths to ensure justice for the rape victims and the strictest of punishments for the culprits. The Unnao rape case and the Kathua rape case received national attention during the same period, leading to joint protests seeking justice for both victims. While three Kathua rape case convicts have received life imprisonment, the Unnao rape case is still pending trial.
