Unnao, July 29 (IBNS):  The Unnao gang-rape survivor’s mother on Monday accused that MLA Kuldeep Sengar was behind the road mishap which took place on Sunday and left the survivor injured.

“Rape accused MLA Kuldeep Sengar is behind this incident. He has been threatening us. Sengar is in jail but he has a mobile and is giving directions,” the mother was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

“It was not an accident but a conspiracy to eliminate all of us,” her mother said.

Survivor of the Makhi gang rape case of Unnao and a lawyer were critically injured while her mother and aunt were killed on Sunday when their car was hit by a truck at Sultanpur Khera roundabout in the district.

Police here said that the victims were going on a car to meet their relative at Rae Bareli jail when it was hit by a truck coming from opposite direction under Gurubakshganj police station area on Rae Bareli-Banda highway.

Advocate Vimal Kumar Yadav, a junior working under Mahendra Singh, who got injured in the accident, told reporters that the rape survivor, her mother, her aunt, and her lawyer were injured in the accident.

"Victim's mother and aunt succumbed to injuries, the victim and her lawyer are in critical condition and have been admitted to the Trauma centre," he said.

Earlier it was reported that the lawyer Mahendra Singh died but it was the rape survivor's mother who succumbed to her injuries.

Police have arrested the driver and the owner of the truck from Fatehpur and they are being interrogated to find out any foul play. A police forensic team was also rushed from Lucknow to probe the accident.

BJP legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar, along with his brother are in Sitapur jail in connection with the gang rape case in which CBI had chargesheeted them.

The people in the car were going to Rae Bareli jail, where gang rape victim's uncle is lodged.

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav has demanded a CBI probe into the accident and alleged that the accident was a pre-planned conspiracy on behalf of the jailed BJP legislator in the rape case.

A team of SP leaders also visited the Trauma centre in Lucknow to know the health condition of the rape victim and her lawyer, who are in critical condition.
