“The accused said they caught the rape victim’s father soon after he reached the village on April 3 and assaulted him before handing him over to the local police. They also claimed that the MLA was not in the village at the time and did not know of the incident,” said the official.

The man was taken to the district hospital on April 8 after he complained of abdominal pain. He died during treatment the same night. Besides the MLA’s brother, the other accused include Vineet Mishra, Baua and Shailu and his brother Sonu, all residents of Makhi village in Unnao.

The official said the role of two other close associates of the MLA in the assault also surfaced during the investigation. They too will be questioned.
