The petitioner has also alleged that Sagar, who used to represent Bilsi assembly seat, had used his clout to influence the investigation into the case by the CB-CID, which had submitted its final report stating that no evidence was found against any of the accused.

The petitioner has further alleged that he thereafter filed a petition in protest before a local court which reopened the case and even issued a non-bailable warrant against Sagar in 2011, though he has not been arrested and produced before the court till date.

The Badaun gang-rape case, which came to light in April 2008, had rocked the state and landed the then ruling BSP in a severe embarrassment. Three years later, in 2011, months after the lower court took cognisance of the matter and issued NBW besides ordering confiscation of Sagar's property, party supremo and Chief Minister Mayawati suspended the MLA for "indiscipline and controversial behaviour".
