A Delhi court on Friday framed charges against expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar for allegedly raping a minor in Unnao in 2017.
District judge Dharmesh Sharma also framed charges against Sengar's accomplice Shashi Singh for allegedly kidnapping the minor girl, who is presently admitted in AIIMS, Delhi. The Unnao survivor was critically injured in a car accident in Rae Bareily in late July, which her family allege was orchestrated by Sengar.
The court has framed charges under Sections 120B (criminal conspiracy), 363 (kidnapping), 366 (kidnapping or inducing a woman to compel for marriage) and 376 (rape) of the IPC and other relevant sections of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The CBI had on Thursday told the court that Sengar and his brother assaulted the father of the girl and framed him in an Arms Act case, in collusion with three state police officials and five others.
The agency had submitted that the MLA and his "accomplices" got an FIR lodged, accusing the rape survivor's father of possessing a country-made pistol and four live cartridges.
