Lucknow: Bangarmau BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who was booked by the UP police on Thursday following nationwide furore over rape allegations levelled by a 17-year-old minor in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao, was taken into custody by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) from his Lucknow residence in the wee hours of Friday.
The CBI’s early morning move came a day after the Allahabad High Court came down heavily on the Yogi Adityanath government over Unno case, asking it whether it proposes to arrest accused MLA as promptly as it does in other cases.
A CBI team along with UP cops picked him up from an Indiranagar residence of his kin at around 4:30am.
Sengar was taken to the CBI headquarters in Hazratganj in Lucknow
