Victim's Plea to CBI

New Delhi: The survivor of the 2017 Unnao rape incident, for which former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar was found guilty, has reached out to the CBI to file a First Information Report (FIR) against the investigating officer, alleging collusion with Sengar.

The victim expressed concerns for her safety and that of her family, citing threats from various sources.

This plea follows a wave of discontent after the Delhi High Court recently granted conditional bail to Sengar, temporarily suspending his life sentence.

Despite this, Sengar remains incarcerated due to a separate 10-year sentence related to the custodial death of the victim's father.

In her complaint, the survivor accused the investigating officer of conducting a biased investigation, claiming that the officer's actions were intended to benefit Sengar and other accused individuals through intentional lapses and manipulation of evidence.

She specifically pointed out that the officer included forged school documents in the chargesheet, misrepresenting her educational background and altering her date of birth, despite her never having enrolled in that institution.

Additionally, the victim stated that the officer inaccurately claimed she used a mobile phone belonging to a woman named Heera Singh, which she denied.

The chargesheet also contained several false statements attributed to her, according to her allegations.

In a detailed six-page complaint, the victim, who was a minor at the time of the assault, noted that she had previously reported these issues but no action was taken against the officer.

She referenced the trial court's conviction of Sengar, which raised questions about the investigation officer's handling of her statement, accusing him of colluding with the accused to evade justice.

The CBI had previously contested the trial court's findings in the Delhi High Court.

During the trial, the CBI argued that the officer's assertions regarding the victim's mobile phone were merely opinions and lacked definitive proof, asserting that this alone did not indicate bias towards the accused.

The court remarked that the investigation appeared unfair, suggesting that the officer's approach seemed aimed at undermining the victim's credibility and that of her family.
