Unnao rape: Sengar moves Supreme Court seeking bail in death case of survivor's father
Sengar's appeal for bail in a custodial death case raises concerns about justice and accountability.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on February 8, 2026, an appeal by expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar seeking bail in the custodial death case of the Unnao rape survivor's father. Sengar was sentenced to 10 years in prison and a ₹10 lakh fine for culpable homicide not amounting to murder in March 2020 after a trial court found him guilty of killing the man, who was the sole breadwinner of his family. The case is currently pending appeal at the High Court.
