BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, prime accused in the Unnao rape case, was expelled from the BJP on Thursday.
Amid growing demands to sack the lawmaker after the Unnao rape survivor was critically injured in a car-truck collision, the Uttar Pradesh BJP had said on Tuesday that Sengar was 'suspended' from the party long ago. Sengar, a four-time MLA, was arrested in April last year on charges on rape.
A car in which the Unnao rape victim, her family and lawyer were travelling was hit by an overspeeding truck in Rae Bareli on Sunday, killing two members while leaving her and the advocate critically injured, police had said.The police had filed a murder case against Sengar and nine others on Monday after the rape survivor's family filed a complaint, alleging conspiracy behind the incident.
The Supreme Court on Thursday announced it would order the transfer of all four cases related to the rape from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi.
