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.
