LUCKNOW: Expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Senger and his close associates have not been charged with murder by the CBI in connection with the Unnao rape survivor's accident on July 28 in which two of her relatives were killed.
According to reports, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday filed a chargesheet before a special CBI court in Lucknow against Senger and others in connection with the case but no murder charges were pressed on them.
In its chargesheet, the agency charged Sengar and all others named accused in the FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) related to criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation.
Ashish Kumar Pal , driver of the truck which rammed into the car killing the Unnao rape survivor's two aunts and leaving the girl and her lawyer critically injured, has been charged with causing death by negligence 304(a), causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety (338), and rash driving (279).
In its FIR, the agency had earlier booked Sengar and nine others under sections of the IPC related to criminal conspiracy, murder, attempt to murder and criminal intimidation.
It may not be noted that the Supreme Court had on September 25 granted two more weeks to the CBI to complete its probe into the accident.
In her complaint, the girl had alleged that she was raped by expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in 2017 when she was a minor.
The girl was badly injured in the road accident after a truck rammed into the car she was travelling in with her two aunts and her lawyer in Rae Bareli district of Uttar Pradesh on July 28.
Two of her aunts died in the road accident. She was later airlifted from a hospital in Lucknow and brought to the AIIMS for better care.

On Thursday, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) sought seven days from a Delhi court to provide accommodation to the victim's family.
The girl's family had earlier told the court that they wanted to reside in the national capital as they feared for their lives in UP - their native state.
