Videos later emerged showing the severity of the beating that was meted out to the survivor’s father.Police filed an FIR charging five men with assault, but excluded Atul despite the fact that the written complaint submitted by the family to the police had mentioned him by name. In a video from the day, Surendra was heard naming the MLA’s brother as the one who assaulted him.Sengar was finally expelled from the BJP in August 2019. Even after that, BJP leader’s have spoken in his defence. Residents of Unnao also held a rally in his support.(With inputs from PTI)
