Sitapur jail warder under CBI lens for aiding Kuldeep Sengar

LUCKNOW: The warder of Sitapur prison is under CBI scanner for allegedly allowing sacked BJP MLA and rape accused Kuldeep Sengar to smuggle cell phones into his barrack to call his henchmen in Makhi village. CBI is picking up clues on how Sengar’s aides would then receive orders to threaten the Unnao rape survivor’s family.
Call records of jail warder Amar Singh reveal he was in touch with the expelled BJP MLA.The agency also stumbled upon 10 suspicious numbers from which calls were made from inside prison. CBI scanned details of 1,000 visitors to Sitapur jail, before zeroing in on the jail warder, who too is an Unnao native and was transferred to Sitapur jail last year.
A senior CBI officer disclosed that a team would not only question the warder, but also launch searches on those whose names are registered against the 10 suspicious numbers.
Two Sitapur jail warders, Mahendra Kumar Yadav and Satya Prakash Verma, were earlier transferred by the prisons department after a video went viral in which a panchayat member from Unnao came to meet Sengar in prison and a warder told him to visit after a fortnight.
In his complaint to the police, Unnao rape survivor’s uncle alleged Sengar and his associates would hand out life threats to them at their residence in Makhi and also asked them to change their statements in court or hammer out a compromise.
