Lucknow, Jul 11 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh government today ordered a CB-CID probe into the alleged kidnapping and rape case in Badaun, in which Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA Yogendra Sagar has been accused by the girl's family.

''The Government ordered a CB-CID probe after the girl, in her affidavit in the local court in Badaun, alleged rape by some people of the MLA,'' said state Inspector General of Police (law and order) Bhanu Pratap Singh.
