Unnao rape case: SC sets aside suspension of Kuldeep Sengar's life sentence; overturns Delhi HC order

The Supreme Court has overturned the Delhi HC order that suspended former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar's life sentence in the 2017 Unnao rape case. A fresh hearing must be held within two months.

In a significant legal development, the Supreme Court of India on Friday set aside a Delhi High Court order that had suspended the life imprisonment sentence of former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar. Sengar was convicted in the high-profile 2017 Unnao rape case, which sparked nationwide outrage.
