UP: BJP MLA from Badaun district accused of raping woman

After BJP MLA from Unnao Kuldeep Sengar was sent to jail under rape charges, BJP MLA from Bisauli constituency of Badaun district, Kushagra Sagar, was accused of raping a woman.

On Tuesday, the survivor filed a complaint with the Bareilly senior superintendent of police (SSP). The woman said that since the accused had been elected as MLA, her life had become miserable.

Speaking to ANI, Victim said,'Will commit suicide if I don't get justice, I have been receiving threats as well and have become a subject of ridicule in society.'

Meanwhile, MLA Kushagra said that his political rivals who had ruined his father's political career now wanted to make a dent in his reputation by hatching a conspiracy against him.

Kushagra's father, former BSP MLA Yogendra Sagar has been in jail on charges of rape and murder. He was booked for raping a woman in 2008. During the proceedings of that case, the government counsel Sadhana Sharma was killed in a road accident and subsequently, Yogendra was booked under murder charges in 2016.
