Delhi High Court Suspends Unnao Rape Convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar's Sentence

The Delhi High Court suspended the life sentence of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, convicted in the Unnao minor rape case. The court cited that Sengar was not a public servant, making POCSO provisions inapplicable. This decision has reopened wounds from the case, where the survivor faced significant trauma, including her father's death in custody and a fatal car crash. The CBI has appealed to the Supreme Court to stay the suspension, highlighting concerns about the spirit of the law versus strict textual interpretation.
