Unnao Rape Survivor removed from Delhi Protest
“I wanted to kill myself then and there, but I stopped after thinking about my family,” the survivor said on Tuesday. After she and her mother dragged out of the lawns of India Gate while protesting a Delhi High Court order granting bail to Sengar in the 2017 rape case.
Earlier today, the rape survivor called the Delhi High Court’s decision to suspend the jail term of expelled BJP leader “kaal (death)” for her family and said she would approach the Supreme Court.
Delhi HC suspend Sengar Sentence
The Delhi High Court suspended the sentence of Sengar, who is serving life imprisonment for the 2017 kidnapping and rape case, and ordered his release on bail pending the outcome of his appeal against a 2019 conviction in a lower court.
The court directed that Sengar must not come within a 5 kms radius of the victim’s residence or threaten the survivor or her mother. Any violation of these conditions would result in automatic cancellation of bail, the court said.
However, Sengar remain in jail due to a separate 10-year sentence in connection with another case and has not been granted bail in that case. Reacting to the verdict, the survivor, who was a minor at the time of the crime, said that security for her family members, lawyers, and witnesses already withdrawn, and the court’s decision deepened her fears.
“If the convict gets bail in a case like this, how will the country’s daughters remain safe? For us, this decision is no less than ‘kaal’ (death),” she told.
