New Delhi: Rape-accused Uttar Pradesh MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his accomplice, Shashi Singh, are likely to be produced before a Delhi court on August 5.

The duo will be produced in the court in pursuance to order by district judge Dinesh Sharma here.

The case pertains to the rape of a minor girl allegedly by the lawmaker at his residence in Unnao on June 4, 2017, where she had gone to seek a job.

He was lodged in Sitapur district jail in Uttar Pradesh. Sengar was expelled from the BJP last week. Accused Shashi Singh had allegedly lured the victim into going to Sengar’s residence.

A few days earlier, Sengar and nine others were booked for murder by the CBI after the rape survivor and the advocate were injured when a truck hit their car in Rae Bareli. Her two aunts were killed in the accident. The rape survivor’s family alleged foul play.
