According to the CBI, on April 3, 2018 there was an altercation between the survivor's father and Shashi Pratap Singh.
The charge sheet filed on July 13, 2018 said the survivor's father and his co-worker were returning to their village, Makhi, when they asked Singh for lift.
Singh denied them the lift, triggering an altercation among them.
Singh called his associates, following which MLA's brother Atul Singh Sengar reached the spot along with others and beat up the survivor's father and his co-worker.
The survivor's father was subsequently taken to the police station by them and an FIR was lodged against him. He was arrested.
The charge sheet said that all this while Kuldeep Sengar was in touch with the district police superintendent, police station's in-charge Bhadauria.
Later he also talked to the doctor who examined the survivor's father.
The court had earlier framed charges against Sengar, his brother Atul, Makhi police station's in-charge Ashok Singh Bhadauria, Sub Inspector Kamta Prasad, Constable Amir Khan and six others in the case.
The case was transferred to Delhi from a trial court in Uttar Pradesh on the directions of the Supreme Court on August 1 last year.
In July last year, a truck rammed into the car the rape survivor was travelling in with some family members and her lawyer. Two of her aunts died in the road accident.
She was airlifted from a hospital in Lucknow and brought to the AIIMS for better care as she continued to be critical. She has been given accommodation in the national capital and is under CRPF protection.
