Nation Reporter: FIR filed against BJP MLA in Unnao rape case; no decision on arrest

Nation Reporter: The Uttar Pradesh police registered an FIR against BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in connection with the alleged gangrape of a minor girl in Unnao, hours after the government said it would hand the probe over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Till the CBI takes over, the local police would continue with the probe, but a decision on whether the accused MLA from the ruling party would be arrested would be taken by the CBI, Principal Secretary (Home) Arvind Kumar said. A letter for handing the probe over to the CBI for maintaining total transparency in the case would be sent to the home department.
