Former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, convicted in the Unnao rape case, has been granted conditional bail by the Delhi High Court, leading to the rape survivor expressing deep dissatisfaction with the decision. She expressed her intention to challenge the High Court’s ruling in the Supreme Court, citing her unhappiness with the judgment and alleging influence by BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Sengar was found guilty of kidnapping and raping a minor girl in 2017.
The survivor, reacting strongly, criticized the High Court judgment, stating her lack of happiness with the decision and emphasizing her determination to fight for justice. She highlighted what she perceived as a disparity in the legal system, mentioning her uncle’s prolonged detention in a case she claimed was falsely filed by Sengar’s brother, Atul Singh. Despite multiple bail pleas, her uncle has not been granted relief, while Sengar secured bail from the court.
The Delhi High Court, comprising Justices Subramonium Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar, suspended Sengar’s jail sentence and granted him bail upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs 15 lakh and three sureties of the same amount. The survivor, expressing concern over the legal process, criticized the disparity in treatment between her uncle and Sengar, alleging the latter’s influence and financial power in securing bail.
The survivor raised serious allegations of political interference in the judicial process, claiming that Sengar had political support leading to the court’s decision. She accused Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh of backing Sengar and suggested that bribery might have influenced the judgment. Expressing her determination for justice, she announced her intention to appeal to the Supreme Court to seek redress against what she perceived as an unjust decision.
