			==Rape allegations==

			In May 2019, a woman accused Atul Rai of rape at his home in Varanasi. Mr. Rai, who denied the accusation, was arrested a month later and has been in jail since then.

			In November 2020, Atul Rai's brother registered a police complaint accusing the victim of committing forgery. The woman called the accusations as harassment and as an attempt to force her to withdraw the rape charge. However the court, in August 2021, issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against her.

			In desperation, the woman and a male friend travelled from their state in Uttar Pradesh to the capital Delhi and on 16 August, 2021, self-immolated themselves outside india's Supreme Court. They were live on Facebook as they sprinkled petrol on themselves and lit the fire. Before setting themselves alight the duo name several police officials and a judge, accusing them of colluding with Mr. Rai.

			The man died at hospital on Saturday, 21 August, 2021. The woman succumbed to her death on the evening of Tuesday, 24 August, 2021. <ref>{{Cite web\|title=Woman, who accused BSP MP Atul Rai of rape & set herself ablaze outside SC, breathes last\|url=https://www.timesnownews.com/delhi/article/woman-bsp-mp-atul-rai-rape-set-herself-ablaze-outside-sc-breathes-last/803332\|access-date=2021-08-26\|website=www.timesnownews.com\|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|date=2021-08-25\|title=‘Raped’ by BSP MP, woman who set herself on fire dies; family says was being harassed\|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/woman-who-set-herself-ablaze-outside-supreme-court-dies-7468560/\|access-date=2021-08-26\|website=The Indian Express\|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|title=UP Woman Who Accused MP Of Rape Dies Week After She Set Herself On Fire At Supreme Court Gate\|url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/bsp-mp-atul-rai-raped-me-up-woman-dies-days-after-self-immolation-at-supreme-court-gate-2517830\|access-date=2021-08-26\|website=NDTV.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|last=Staff\|first=Scroll\|title=Woman who accused BSP MP of raping her dies a week after setting herself on fire\|url=https://scroll.in/latest/1003665/woman-who-accused-bsp-mp-of-raping-her-dies-a-week-after-setting-herself-on-fire\|access-date=2021-08-26\|website=Scroll.in\|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web\|last=PTI\|date=2021-08-24\|title=Woman who accused BSP MP Atul Rai of rape and set herself, friend on fire outside SC, dies\|url=https://theprint.in/judiciary/woman-who-accused-bsp-mp-atul-rai-of-rape-and-set-herself-friend-on-fire-outside-sc-dies/721286/\|access-date=2021-08-26\|website=ThePrint\|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{cite web\|url=https://www.india.com/assembly-election-2017/uttar-pradesh/zamania/\|publisher=india.com\|title=Zamania - Uttar Pradesh Assembly Election Results 2017\|accessdate=26 April 2019}}</ref>
