The CBI on Saturday made a second arrest in the Unnao rape case as it took into custody Shashi Singh, the woman who allegedly took the victim to BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar on the day of crime, officials said.
A special court in Lucknow had sent Sengar, the prime accused in the case, to seven-day CBI custody, they said.
In her complaint to the UP Police, now part of the CBI FIR, the victim’s mother has alleged that Shashi had lured her daughter and took her to Sengar’s residence where he raped her.
She has also alleged that while the MLA was raping her daughter, Shashi stood outside the room as a guard.
The agency arrested the BJP MLA from Bangarmau on Friday night after 16 hours of questioning at its office in Lucknow. After a massive public outrage over the inaction of the UP Police, the case was handed over to the CBI on April 12. The agency took over the investigation in three cases related to the alleged rape of the 17-year-old girl by the BJP MLA.
Within hours of taking over the probe, the CBI brought Sengar, who had remained untouched by the state police, to its office in Lucknow.
