Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Police on Friday ordered a probe after a policeman posted at the Sitapur jail, where rape accused MLA Kuldeep Sengar is lodged, was seen in a video allegedly being bribed by a person considered close to the legislator.
Sengar, who is accused of raping a minor girl from Unnao two years ago and killing two members of her family, was expelled by the BJP on Thursday.
In the video, a policeman is seen allegedly being bribed by a man in kurta and pyjama outside the Sitapur jail.
The man in the video, Rinku Shukla, a panchayat member of Unnao, told reporters that he was not bribing the policeman to meet the Bangermau MLA. “It’s my habit. I might have given money to him (policeman) for having tea as he was standing there. My intention was not to bribe him. I have met Sengar inside the jail 10-15 days ago,” he said.
When asked why he met Sengar, Shukla said, “I met him because he is our (constituency’s) MLA. I am not in the BJP..”
In another part of the video, a motorcycle-borne man is heard asking someone to arrange a meeting with the MLA and he was told “there is a pressure”.
