The CBI on Tuesday registered the fourth FIR in Unnao rape and murder case against Shashi Singh and her son Shubham, who allegedly took the victim to the arrested BJP MlA Kuldeep Singh Sengar on the pretext of getting her a job. A close aide of the arrested BJP MlA Shashi Singh was also produced in the special CBI Court by the investigating agency on Tuesday after arresting her. The court has given four-day remand to the CBI for interrogation. In its new complaint, the CBI has made Shashi Singh’s son Shubham Singh an accused.
Shashi was sent to four days of police custody till April 19.
Earlier, a team of CBI went to the Makhi Police Station and to the houses of the victim and Sengar to collect evidences. The investigating agency also talked to several villagers and those who could throw some light on the case. A forensic team from Delhi also reached Makhi village to help CBI collect evidences against the accused.
Meanwhile, the CBI is all set to reopen the original FIR registered in June last year in connection with the rape case to determine why Sengar was not probed by UP Police after the complaint. According to reports, the Unnao police had registered these FIR under various sections related to rape, abduction and criminal intimidation, the POCSO Act and the gangrape.
The CBI has filed three separate cases last week relating to the alleged rape and incidents following it. The case was handed to the central investigative agency by Yogi Adityanath government following massive protests and public outcry across the country over the incident.
