Expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar has been granted an interim bail by the Delhi High Court, allowing him to attend his daughter’s wedding.  

Sengar was sentenced to a life sentence by the court for raping a minor girl in Unnao 2017. He had requested a temporary release for his daughter’s wedding, according to news agency ANI.

In order to allow him to attend his daughter’s wedding, the Delhi High Court on Monday granted interim bail to former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who was found guilty and given a life sentence in the Unnao rape case.

Sengar was given provisional bail by a division bench of Justices Mukta Gupta and Poonam A Bamba for a term of 15 days, from January 27 to February 10.

The victim was a minor when former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and his cohorts brutally gang raped her in 2017. Sengar was found guilty of raping the woman and killing her father with the help of police in the village of Makhi, located in the Unnao area. He received a life sentence in prison.

In response to a transfer petition filed by the survivor, the Supreme Court decided to shift the case’s trial to Saket Court in 2019.

The Supreme Court had transferred all five cases filed in connection with the incident from a court in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, to a court in Delhi with instructions to hold the trial on a daily basis and complete it within 45 days after receiving the rape survivor’s letter to the then Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi.

It should be mentioned that the victim of the Unnao rape case in 2017 petitioned the Supreme Court to relocate the criminal case brought by the father of one of the defendants in her case of sexual assault from a trial court in Uttar Pradesh to Delhi.

A non-bailable warrant for the victim’s arrest was issued by a local court in Unnao following a criminal complaint of alleged forgery and cheating made by the father of Shubham Singh, one of the defendants currently being tried in the Unnao gang rape case in a Delhi court. The complaint was made by the father of Shubham Singh.

The Supreme Court had transferred all five cases filed in connection with the incident from a court in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, to a court in Delhi with instructions to hold the trial on a daily basis and complete it within 45 days after receiving the rape survivor’s letter to the then Chief Justice of India, Ranjan Gogoi.

Sengar was found guilty under a number of laws, including Section 376 (2) of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with public employees who use their position to rape a woman who is in their care or the care of another public employee who reports to them.

The PM question the people present at the rally that is it not a disrespect of Mata Shabri? Congress leaders inclination toward appeasement politics runs in their family.

For political appeasement, they won’t think twice about stealing the rights of Adivasis, the poor, and Dalits. Poor, young, and women are BJP’s top priorities, Modi said.

PM Modi criticized the Congress again during the rally for claiming that the BJP would alter the constitution.

The leaders of Congress recite the same old phrases whenever an election is about to happen, the PM said. He also said they claim that if the BJP wins power, it will renounce the constitution and abolish reservations. For how long will you continue selling lies?” he asked.

The prime minister continued saying that nobody can change the Constitution, even if Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar were to come and insist on it, it wouldn’t happen.

Those in the Congress threaten to break Modi’s head. Nobody can harm Modi as long as the mothers and sisters of this county stands by him. These mothers and sisters are Raksha Kavach, Modi remarked.

The prime minister further attacked the Congress after Viriato Fernandes, the party’s candidate for South Goa, asserted that Goa was forced to adopt the Indian Constitution.

Referring to his conversation with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Fernandes said he had told him, when Goa was liberated in the year 1961, the Indian Constitution was forced upon us.

The prime minister said, Congress candidate from Goa says Constitution was forced upon Goans; is this not an insult of Ambedkar and Constitution.

Shah further added if the people of West Bengal want to stop infiltration in the state, then they will have to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister of India again. He said if the people of West Bengal want to free Bengal of violence, stop infiltration in the state, give citizenship to refugees, to stop disrespecting mothers and sisters of the state as it happened in Sandeshkhali, then  only way is to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister.

He said one can see the houses of Trinamool Congress leaders; 10 years ago they used to live in a hut, moved on cycle and now all of them have 4-storey houses and move around in big cars. He added this is the money of people of West Bengal.
