Jalaun (Uttar Pradesh) [India], (ANI): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday assured that strict actions would be taken against the accused in the Unnao gangrape case.
“Investigation has been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). I believe the CBI would have arrested the MLA also. Our government will not compromise on this issue, no matter how influential the accused is, he will not be spared,” Chief Minister Adityanath told reporters here.
This comes a day after a senior BJP leader in Uttar Pradesh claimed that the Chief Minister had decided to arrest the accused MLA but his decision was changed after the intervention of a ‘prominent person’.
Former state minister IP Singh took to Twitter and said, “Yogi Adityanath had taken the decision to arrest Kuldeep Singh Sengar. He was to be arrested from the Chief Minister’s office. The Chief Minister had also decided to expel two MLAs from Unnao. But he got a call from a prominent person and the decision got deferred. The party has to suffer the consequence of this decision.”
