Arms licences of expelled BJP legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who faces allegations of raping a minor girl and killing her two aunts, have been cancelled, officials in Unnao said on Saturday.
Sengar had licences to possess a single-barrel gun, a rifle and a revolver. Sengar, the Bangarmau MLA, was arrested by the CBI on April 13, 2018, on rape charges and is lodged in the Sitapur district jail.
The process to cancel his gun licences was under way and, on Friday, the district magistrate of Unnao ordered revocation of the licences on a demand from the family of the rape survivor.
Sengar had been charged with raping the young woman in 2017, when she was a minor.
Another case was filed against Sengar after a car carrying the rape survivor met with an accident on Sunday in Rae Bareli district. Two of her aunts died in the truck-car collision and she and her lawyer are admitted in a Lucknow hospital with critical injuries.
