A day after the death of Unnao gang-rape survivor’s father in judicial custody, the Uttar Pradesh police on Tuesday arrested Atul Sengar, the brother of main accused BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.

The police, however, was yet to arrest the main accused Kuldeep Singh, a Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) MLA from Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh.

“I want justice. They killed my father,” she said.

On Tuesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, terming the incident “unfortunate” had ordered a thorough probe and assured that the guilty won’t be spared.

"It is an unfortunate incident. ADG Lucknow has been asked to probe the matter thoroughly. Those at fault, whoever they might be, will not be spared," Adityanath said.

Early on Sunday, the victim and her family attempted suicide outside Adityanath’s residence in Lucknow after police failed to take any action against the BJP lawmaker and his brothers who allegedly gang-raped her.

“I was raped. I have been running pillar to post for the last one year but no one is listening to me. I want to see all of them arrested, otherwise, I will kill myself. I had even approached the CM to no result. When we lodged an FIR, we were threatened,” the victim had said.
