We are providing all the necessary support for medical treatment of the victim," he stated.Criticising protests by the opposition, Swatantra Singh said that they are doing so since there are no issues to be raised against the government."The opposition does not have any issue to raise because of the popularity of Yogi Adityanath government and that is why they are bringing up incidents like Sonbhadra and Unnao," he said.Legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar is the prime accused in the rape of the minor girl two years ago in Unnao and was arrested by the CBI in April last year.On Sunday, the victim, while on her way to Rai Bareilly along with her two aunts and her lawyer, met with an accident after a truck rammed into her vehicle.While her aunts died, the rape survivor and her lawyer suffered grievous injuries.The rape victim and her lawyer are currently being treated at King George's Medical University in Lucknow and their condition is said to be critical.( With inputs from ANI )
