Delhi HC Rejects Kuldeep Sengar's Plea in Unnao Custodial Death Case

• The Delhi High Court dismissed former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar's plea to suspend his 10-year sentence in the Unnao custodial death case.
• Justice Ravinder Dudeja stated that no fresh circumstances warranted the suspension, despite the delay in appeal hearing and Sengar's long incarceration.
• The court noted that the appeal's delay was partly due to Sengar's repeated applications for sentence suspension.
• Considering Sengar's criminal antecedents and the gravity of the custodial death, the court found no merit in suspending the sentence.
• The case involves the custodial death of the Unnao rape survivor's father, Surendra Singh, who died from injuries sustained in police custody after an alleged assault.
