About a month ago, the Unnao rape case victim had written to Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi seeking action against “those who are making threats”. She claimed “people” had come to her house and threatened to put her family in jail if she didn’t withdraw the cases. She was injured in an accident on Sunday.

In the letter dated July 12, 2019, the victim appealed to the CJI to “take action against those who are making threats”, reported news agency ANI. The letter added, “People came to my house and threatened to take back cases, otherwise the whole family will be put in jail in fake cases”.

The victim, who had alleged she was raped by BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, was critically injured in a road accident on Sunday afternoon when the car she was travelling in collided with a truck. Her two aunts were killed in the accident, while her lawyer also suffered serious injuries. The woman’s uncle has accused Sengar of scheming the accident.

The Rae Bareli police Monday filed an FIR against Sengar, his brother Manoj and 12 other aides for murder and attempt to murder by creating an accident . Sengar, charged with rape, is currently lodged in prison.
