On being told that the condition of the rape victim and her lawyer — also injured in the accident — was critical, Sengar said, “I pray to God that they recover soon”.

On Sunday, a three-member team from the CBI reached Sitapur jail and questioned Sengar for the second consecutive day. The agency also carried out raids at more than 15 places in connection with the accident case. The CBI has taken in its custody the video footage of CCTVs installed at Sitapur jail to identify those who visited Sengar.

Sengar and nine others, including his brother Manoj and Arun Singh, the son-in-law of state minister Dhunni Singh, are accused in the accident case.
