CBI to Challenge Kuldeep Sengar's Bail in SC After Unnao Rape Case Sentence Suspension

  • CBI will immediately challenge the Delhi High Court's suspension of Kuldeep Sengar's life sentence and bail in the Unnao rape case in the Supreme Court.
  • The decision follows a review of the High Court's order, with CBI planning to file a Special Leave Petition (SLP) soon.
  • Sengar remains in jail, serving a separate 10-year term for the custodial death of the rape survivor's father.
  • The Delhi High Court suspended Sengar's sentence, citing he had already served seven years and five months.
  • Victim and her mother protested the High Court's decision, leading to forceful removal by Delhi Police; Rahul Gandhi criticized the move and promised legal aid.

Why It Matters: CBI moves to SC against Sengar's bail; victim protests, Rahul Gandhi promises support.
