Unnao rape case accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar received huge support from the people of Bangarmau, Safipur, Bighapur and adjoining area in India. Tons of people gathered and held the rally in support of the MLA, this is just like Kathua where lawyers supported the accuse and took out a procession against the police filing the charge sheet.
Rally in support of BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar
The protestors claim that the entire incident is part of a political conspiracy. The large number of people in unnao gathered holding placard which read “Humare vidhayak nirdosh hai” (Our legislator is innocent).
This is a second time that people gathered in support of rape accused in India. The first incident happens when after the gang rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl from the Gujjar-Bakarwal community, the police arrested eight individuals including a Hindu priest.
A rally was then organised by Hindu Ekta Manch in favour of the accused men. The protestors claimed the accused were unfairly accused and asked for a CBI probe into the matter. Two BJP minister in the Jammu and Kashmir government, Choudhary Lal Singh and Chander Prakash Ganga, were part of the rally.
This clearly shows the mentality of people living in the region.
Sengar is accused of raping a 17-year-old woman along with his brother and aides in June last year when she was a minor.
A year later, when the matter came to light, the survivor’s father was allegedly beaten to death by Sengar’s brother while the former was in police custody.
