The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered transfer of all cases relating to the said matter outside Uttar Pradesh. A Bench, presided over by Chief Justice of India (CJI) Ranjan Gogoi, had transferred the case to Delhi before District Judge Sharma.
The case relates to the rape of a minor girl allegedly by Sengar at his residence in Unnao on June 4, 2017, where she had gone to seek a job.
On Saturday, a three-member CBI team grilled Sengar for several hours in Sitapur district jail, according to officials, days after the Supreme Court asked the agency not to take more than a fortnight to complete the investigation.
Another four-member CBI team visited the native village of the rape survivor in Unnao on the same day.
Meanwhile, the 19-year-old victim, who is on ventilator support in a leading hospital in Lucknow, remains critical as she has developed pneumonia, doctors attending to her at a hospital here said.
Her lawyer has been taken off the ventilator, but he is still not out of danger.
