Daughter of 2017 Unnao rape case convict Kuldeep Sengar called for justice in an open letter on social media, after the Supreme Court on Monday stayed the Delhi High Court’s decision, which suspended the life sentence of the expelled BJP MLA.
“I am writing this letter as a daughter who is exhausted, frightened, and slowly losing faith, but still holding on to hope because there is nowhere else left to go,” Kuldeep Sengar’s daughter – Ishita wrote on X.
A three-judge vacation of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices JK Maheshwari and Augustine George Masih stayed the High Court order, noting that Sengar is in jail for another case. It said the operation of the High Court order shall be stayed, and Sengar shall not be released from prison.
In her post, Sengar’s daughter hinted that the SC’s decision was based on public outrage, while referring to the Sengar family as “voiceless” for eight years.
