Rape convict Sengar loses UP House membership
Lucknow: Rape convict BJP MLA from Bangarmau Assembly segment in Unnao, Kuldeep Singh Sengar, has been disqualified from the membership of the Vidhan Sabha. In a notification issued by the Vidhan Sabha, Sengar has been deemed disqualified with effect from December 20, 2019, the date on which he was convicted by a Delhi court.
Sengar, a four-term MLA, was expelled by the BJP in August 2019 following furore after his name cropped up in the rape case. The case hit the headlines after the victim attempted self-immolation outside the Chief Minister’s residence in April 2017 and her father died in the police custody two days later. TNS
