Kuldeep Singh Sengar gets 10-year in prison for murder of Unnao rape victim’s father

Date:

Delhi’s Tees Hazari court on Friday awarded 10 years imprisonment to all eight accused including expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in connection with the custodial death of the father of Unnao rape victim.

The court also directed Senger and his brother Atul Sengar to pay Rs 10 lakh each to the family of the rape victim. The rape victim’s father had died in judicial custody on April 9, 2018.

This is his second conviction in the matter related to Unnao rape case.

Earlier, a Delhi court had convicted the ex BJP MLA and several others of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in connection with the death of the Unnao rape victim’s father while in judicial custody. The court pointed out that the evidence proves “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the accused did not intend to kill him but beat him “in a brutal manner that lead to his death.”

CBI in its charge-sheet said all this while Kuldeep Sengar was in continuous touch with the district police superintendent, and the police station in-charge Bhadauria. CBI filed a charge-sheet in the case on July 13, 2018. Thereafter, the charges were framed against Sengar, his brother Atul, Makhi police station in-charge Ashok Singh Bhadauria, Sub Inspector Kamta Prasad, Constable Amir Khan and six others in the case.

On August 1, 2019, the Supreme Court had transferred the case to Delhi from a trial court in Uttar Pradesh. In December 2019, Sengar was convicted and jailed for life for raping the woman in Unnao in 2017 when she was a minor.
