"The most shameful fact has been that till date Kuldeep Sengar happens to be an MLA. Both the Centre and the Uttar Pradesh government are not taking any actions against him. He should be immediately removed from his post. The girl and her lawyer who have sustained injuries should be airlifted and shifted to the best hospital in Delhi. I have also written a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister in this regard but so far have not got any response. They should be airlifted for two reasons- first because of health concern and second security concern. One by one the family members of the victim have been killed," she said while speaking to media," she added.
