NEW DELHI: One of the witnesses in the rape case of a minor lady in Unnao, in which BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar was allegedly concerned, has died, prompting a terse observation from Congress president Rahul Gandhi, who said it smelled of a conspiracy.
The CBI, which is probing the alleged rape case, said the safety and security of witnesses is a accountability of the state police and it was now not in the domain of the central agency.
According to the tips shared through the Uttar Pradesh Police with the CBI, the witness, named Yunus, who ran a normal service provider shop in Makhi village, the place the MLA and the victim also reside, was allegedly now not neatly for someday.
He was suffering from some liver ailments for fairly a while and died ultimate week, they said.
Rahul Gandhi, who's in Germany, took to Twitter and cited a information file that the witness "died under mysterious circumstances" and was "buried hurriedly without getting his post-mortem done".
"The mysterious death & hurried burial without an autopsy, of the key witness in the #Unnao rape & murder case, involving BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar, smells of a conspiracy. Is this your idea of “justice for our daughters”, Mr 56?," Gandhi wrote in feedback whilst re-tweeting the story.
Yunus was a witness in the CBI case involving fatal attack on the father of the rape victim allegedly through the brother of the MLA Atul Singh Sengar and four others.
The father of the rape victim had died in the prison the place he was saved on the alleged false charges beneath the arms act.
Yunus' family has given a remark to the police that he was suffering from liver ailment since 2013 and his death is the result of the illness, UP Police assets said.
They said paperwork associated with the treatment undertaken through Yunus have also been recovered through the police.
