U.P: The Uttar Pradesh government has decided to hand over the cases of alleged rape of a 17-year-old girl in Unnao and the subsequent death of her father in judicial custody to the CBI after the Special Investigation Team submitted its report on Wednesday evening.

The Yogi Adityanath-led government, which has drawn flak from all quarters over the case, has also asked police to lodge an FIR against accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and others. The SIT also submitted a video that purportedly shows the girl’s father saying he was assaulted by Sengar’s brother Atul in the presence of police. On Tuesday, Sengar’s brother Atul was the fifth person arrested in connection with the brutal assault on the girl’s father that led to his death the day before.
