Unnao Rape Case Twist: New Allegations Surface Against Investigating Officer

The Unnao rape case victim seeks CBI intervention to file an FIR against the former investigating officer, alleging malpractices and a biased investigation aimed at aiding ex-BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar. She highlights forged documents and threats faced by her family, despite Sengar's conditional bail being contested.

In a new development within the controversial 2017 Unnao rape case, the victim has turned to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to file an FIR against the erstwhile investigating officer. She accuses the officer of colluding with ex-BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the main convict in the case, suggesting that the probe was manipulated.

The victim has asserted that fabricated school documents were used in the chargesheet to misrepresent her age and that statements were falsely attributed to her. Additionally, she alleged discrepancies in phone usage claims, all pointing towards intentional investigative lapses to favor Sengar.

These allegations emerge shortly after the Delhi High Court's controversial decision to grant conditional bail to Sengar, fuelling public discontent. Despite this, Sengar remains jailed due to another conviction. The CBI's approach during the trial has also faced criticism for perceived bias.
