Days after BJP’s Unnao MLA Kuldeep Senger was arrested by the CBI on allegations of rape, another party legislator from Uttar Pradesh has been accused of a similar crime.

According to reports, BJP MLA Kushagra Sagar has been accused by his domestic help’s daughter of raping her on the pretext of marriage.

The victim has reportedly filed a complaint with Bareilly SSP Kalanidhi Naithani claiming that she had been raped by Kushagra Sagar, the MLA from Bisauli Assembly constituency in Badayun district, for two years when she was a minor.

The girl has said she will commit suicide if justice was not delivered in her case.

“I will commit suicide if I don’t get justice. I have been receiving threats as well and have become a subject of ridicule in society,” the victim told the reporters.

In her complaint, the victim has alleged that when she was raped by Sagar for the first time, his father Yogendra Sagar, former MLA, had assured her that he would get his son married to her when she turns 18.

“When he (Sagar) raped me for the first time, his father Yogendra Sagar (a former MLA) had assured me that he would get his son married to me the day I reach the age of majority,” the victim said in her complaint.

The victim has alleged that she was raped between the year 2012 and 2014. She finally decided to lodge a complaint when she got to know that Sagar was getting married to some other woman on 17 June.

BJP MLA Sagar has denied all the allegations and claimed that a conspiracy was being hatched to malign his image and destroy his political career. He has claimed that the victim had blamed him in 2014 as well but nothing could be proved at that time.
