Delhi HC Suspends Rape Convict Sengar's Jail Term Pending Appeal; Victim to Challenge Order

The Delhi High Court has suspended the jail term of former BJP legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar, convicted of raping a minor, pending his appeal. The court cited a technicality regarding the definition of a public servant under different acts. Sengar remains imprisoned due to a separate conviction. The victim's family has called the decision a "death knell" and plans to challenge it in the Supreme Court, sparking debate on justice for the vulnerable.
