The son-in-law of a UP minister is among the 10 people booked on murder charges after a road crash killed two aunts of the Unnao rape victim and left her critically injured.
Uttar Pradesh minister Ranvendra Pratap Singh's son-in-law Arun Singh has been named along with rape accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the FIR registered on July 29, following the truck-car collision on Sunday in Rae Bareli district.
The CBI, which has taken over the accident case, has named the same people in its own FIR.
Sengar, a four-time MLA who represents Bangermau, was arrested in 2018 for allegedly raping the teenage girl at his residence in 2017.
Currently on Amarnath Yatra, Arun Singh on Wednesday said, "Is it a crime to be someone's son-in-law?"
