Lucknow/New Delhi July 11 (IANS) The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday filed a charge sheet against BJP s Uttar Pradesh legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the Unnao rape case.
"After investigation a charge sheet has been filed in the competent court in Lucknow against Sengar and Shashi Singh under sections 120 B 363 367 376(1) 506 of the IPC (Indian Penal Code) and sections 3 and 4 of Pocso (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act " CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal said in New Delhi.

Sengar who represents the Bangermau assembly constituency is in jail for allegedly raping the teenager at his home when she had gone to meet him for a job. Shashi Singh is his close aide who allegedly lured the girl to the MLA.
In April the victim tried to commit suicide outside Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath s house alleging that police did not act though she had approached them several months earlier.
