New delhi sources stated that bjp mla kuldeep singh sengar has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raping a woman in Unnao in 2017 by Delhi’s tis hazari court on friday and the court has also ordered Sengar to pay a compensation of Rs 25 lakhs to the survivor. The Judge said "This court does not find any mitigating circumstance. Sengar was public servant and betrayed people's faith". Furthermore the conduct of 53 year old Sengar was to intimidate the rape survivor. 

 

Further it also directed that the rape survivor be paid an additional Rs 10 lakh as compensation to the mother of the victim. Besides, the court directed the cbi to continue assessing threat perception to the life and security of the survivor and her family members every three months. Apparently it said they will continue to reside in rented accommodation made available by delhi Commission for women for one more year and directed the up government to pay Rs 15,000 per month for the rent.

 

Moreover the court had on monday convicted Sengar for rape under the indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act for offence by a public servant committing penetrative sexual assault against a child after holding the victim to be a minor in 2017 and the court had said the victim's testimony was "truthful and unblemished" against a "powerful person". Perhaps the court had said there was "nothing wrong" with law but its ineffective implementation on ground and lack of human approach of officers concerned led to a situation where justice was delayed. It said the cbi itself was not following the manual relating to investigation and prosecution. On July 28 this year, the car of the rape survivor was hit by a truck and she was severely injured.
