The court had framed the charges against Sengar and his accomplice under IPC Sections 120(B) (Criminal Conspiracy), 363(kidnapping),366 (kidnapping or inducing a woman to compel for marriage) and 376 (rape).

The former BJP MLA was removed from the party and was arrested after the girl threatened to set herself on fire in front of Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath’s house in Lucknow in 2018.
