Unnao : Adding to the list of rape allegations against politicians, a woman from Uttar Pradesh’s Safipur town in Unnao district has accused a councillor of raping her.
The woman alleged that the councillor, Imran, and his accomplice took turns to rape her, while the other filmed the act, and then blackmailed her to keep mum about it.
The victim’s husband told reporters that the accused was a member of the Samajwadi Party (SP) who claimed that his influence would prevent him from any action against him.
He added, “A complaint was registered after two months, but the accused are not being arrested.”

The victim’s family also alleged that the accused MLA’s brother, Atul Singh Sengar, along with his companions also raped the girl and thrashed the victim’s father on April 3 for refusing to withdraw the FIR over the same.
