The survivor of the 2017 Unnao rape case, in which former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar was convicted, has approached the Central Bureau of Investigation seeking the registration of a First Information Report against the then-investigating officer. She alleged that the officer was “hand in glove” with Sengar. Citing the trial court order convicting Sengar, where the court questioned the recording of her statement by the investigating officer, she accused the officer of being “hand in glove” with the accused to save them from prosecution. The CBI had challenged the observations of the trial court in the Delhi High Court. Sengar, however, will remain in jail as he is also serving a 10-year term for the custodial death of the rape survivor's father.
