The 18-year-old woman, who had tried to kill herself outside the chief minister’s house here, on the other hand said that she had been confined to a hotel room by the district administration and her uncle was killed by the MLA’s brother and henchmen, who later also killed her father.
She said, “I want justice, why are they pressuring me for an apology? Do they want my (another) uncle to be killed too?” A video also surfaced on Wednesday and was being run on TV channels showing the rape survivor’s father before his death saying that he was mercilessly beaten up by the MLA’s brother and others, including with rifle butts.
The video, purportedly shot at a hospital, showed the deceased person’s back with serious wounds. Meanwhile in the state capital, Sangeeta Sengar, wife of the MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, told reporters after meeting DGP OP Singh that there was a political conspiracy against her family and accused the complainant of not being consistent in her statements.

“My husband is innocent and it is my request that he should not be called a rapist. He has been in politics for the past 15 years and has been serving the society and people,” she said, adding, her daughters were unable to concentrate on their studies in the wake of this incident.
She said the allegations against her brother-in-law Atul were false too. On whether her husband should resign from the UP Assembly, she retorted, “Why should he quit even before he is declared guilty? Merely on the basis of charges, why should he resign?” She said she wanted to meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and apprise him of the facts. Besides the MLA’s wife, the purported rape victim has also demanded a CBI probe in the entire matter.
