Unnao Rape Survivor Moves SC Against Sengar's Sentence Suspension

  • The Unnao rape survivor has moved the Supreme Court against the Delhi High Court's decision to suspend Kuldeep Sengar's life sentence.
  • Delhi HC suspended Sengar's sentence, citing over seven years served and pending appeal scheduled for January 2026.
  • The High Court ruled that a potential threat to the victim's safety is not sufficient ground to deny suspension, ensuring CRPF protection for the survivor.
  • Sengar will remain in jail as he is also serving a 10-year sentence in the custodial death case of the survivor’s father.
  • HC imposed strict conditions on Sengar, including a ₹15 lakh bond, staying away from the survivor, and reporting to the local police.
