India's governing BJP has expelled a state legislator embroiled in a high profile rape and murder case. Kuldeep Sengar from Uttar Pradesh is accused of helping organize a car crash on Sunday that critically injured his alleged rape victim and her lawyer. The teenager's two aunts were killed.

The mother of the victim told the BBC that she is happy with the BJP's decision to expel their party legislator Kuldeep Sengar. The case dates to 2017, but caused widespread outrage in the country when the victim was critically injured in a car crash on Sunday.
