In a significant development in the Unnao Rape case, the Delhi High Court has granted interim bail to expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar for two days. Sengar, who was convicted for kidnapping and rape of a minor girl in 2017, is scheduled to undergo surgery at AIIMS on February 4. The high court division bench has directed him to surrender on February 5.
The former BJP MLA was found guilty by the Tis Hazari court on December 16. However, his co-accused Shashi Singh has been acquitted of all charges. The victim, a minor at the time of the incident, was kidnapped and raped by Sengar in 2017.
Sengar, a four-time MLA representing Unnao district’s Bangermau constituency in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, has been in jail since April 2018. He was expelled from the BJP in August 2019 in light of the allegations against him.
It is a crucial moment in the high-profile case that has garnered widespread attention and raised questions about the safety of women in India. The decision of the Delhi High Court to grant interim bail to Sengar has sparked mixed reactions among the public.
As the case continues to unfold, all eyes are on the legal proceedings and the pursuit of justice for the victim. The Unnao Rape case has become a symbol of the fight against sexual violence and the need for stringent laws to protect women.
