Kuldeep Sengar
The Supreme Court is likely to hear on Monday expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar’s plea seeking bail in the custodial death case of the Unnao rape survivor’s father.
On January 19, the Delhi High Court had refused to suspend Sengar’s 10-year jail term in the case on the grounds of delay in trial, saying it was partly caused by the multiple applications he had filed in the matter.
On March 13, 2020, Sengar was sentenced to 10-year rigorous imprisonment by a trial court, along with a fine of Rs 10 lakh, in the case.
The trial court had said “no leniency” could be shown for killing a family’s “sole bread earner”.
The trial court, which did not hold the accused guilty of murder in the father’s case, awarded him the maximum sentence for the offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder after holding that there was no intention to kill.
Sengar’s appeals in the main rape case against the December 2019 judgement convicting him and sentencing him to imprisonment for the remainder of his life, as well as the father’s case, are pending in the high court.
His sentence was suspended by the high court on December 23, 2025, till the pendency of his appeal challenging his conviction and sentence in the rape case.
The Supreme Court stayed the suspension on December 29, 2025.
