Sengar's Sentence Suspended: POCSO Act's 'Public Servant' Loophole Aids Ex-MLA

• Delhi High Court suspended Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life sentence in a minor rape case.
• Suspension based on a technicality: MLAs not explicitly defined as 'public servant' under POCSO Act Section 5.
• Crime predates 2019 POCSO amendment; Sengar served 7 of 10 years minimum sentence applicable then.
• Decision raises questions on POCSO Act's 'public servant' definition and investigative agencies' role.
• Sengar still faces victim's father's murder case; restricted to 5km radius from victim's residence.

Why It Matters: Legal technicality in POCSO Act's 'public servant' definition led to Sengar's sentence suspension.
