Condition of Unnao rape victim, lawyer stable: Doctors

Sunday, the car in which the Unnao rape survivor, her family and lawyer were travelling was hit by a truck in Rae Bareli, killing her two aunts and leaving her and the advocate critically injured.

Lucknow: The condition of the Unnao-rape survivor and her lawyer is stable, doctors of King George Medical University here said Thursday.

Medical university authorities, however, said they had no information whether the victim was being airlifted to Delhi or anywhere outside the state.

In-charge of KGMU’s Trauma Centre Dr Sandeep Tiwari said: “Her condition is stable, but she is on ventilator support.”

A CT scan was conducted on the rape survivor, but there was no sign of any head injury. A team of doctors are monitoring her round-the-clock, authorities said.

Tiwari said, “The injured advocate was removed from the ventilator for some time yesterday and Thursday. During this period, his condition was stable. He was later put on the ventilator again.”

When asked, if there was any plan to shift the victim outside the state for treatment, Tiwari said he had no information.

Sunday, the car in which the Unnao rape survivor, her family and lawyer were travelling was hit by a truck in Rae Bareli, killing her two aunts and leaving her and the advocate critically injured.

The CBI, which has taken over the investigation into Sunday’s road accident, booked 10 people for murder, including BJP legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is already in jail, charged with the rape of the Unnao woman when she was a minor in 2017.

The UP police Monday filed a murder case against Sengar and nine others after the rape survivor’s family filed a complaint alleging conspiracy behind the accident.

With opposition accusing the BJP of shielding its lawmaker, the ruling party expelled Sengar Thursday, BJP sources said.

Three security personnel tasked with protecting the rape survivor were suspended Thursday on charges of dereliction of duty following the road accident, police said.

The suspended police personnel are Sudesh Kumar, and women constables Sunita Devi and Ruby Patel, said Superintendent of Police, Unnao, M P Verma.

Ajendra Awasthi, another advocate for the woman, said he has been provided with adequate security by the district administration after he requested for it.
