Kuldeep Singh Sengar disqualified from UP assembly membership

Kuldeep Singh Sengar, MLA from Bangarmau assembly seat from Uttar Pradesh has been disqualified from the membership of the state assembly. The action was taken following his conviction in a rape case. He was expelled from the BJP last year also.

According to a notification issued by office of secretariat of UP Assembly, Sengar, who was elected from Bangarmau constituency in Unnao, has been disqualified as per the rules following his conviction by a Delhi court. As per the notification the Bangarmau



seat has been termed vacant from 20 December 2019. It is the same date when a Delhi court had pronounced its verdict of life imprisonment. 

Sengar, a four-term MLA, was expelled by the BJP in August 2019 following furore after his name cropped up in a rape case of Makhi village in Unnao district. The girl attempted self-immolation outside the chief minister's residence in April 2017 when the police did not take action on her complaint.
