Delhi High Court Grants Interim Bail to Expelled BJP Leader Sengar

The Delhi High Court has granted a two-week interim bail for medical reasons to Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is serving a life sentence for the rape of a minor. Sengar is to be admitted to AIIMS-Delhi for medical evaluation. His appeal against the trial court's verdict is ongoing.

The Delhi High Court has given a two-week interim bail on medical grounds to expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is serving a life sentence for raping a minor in Unnao, Uttar Pradesh, in 2017.

A bench led by Justice Prathiba M Singh temporarily suspended Sengar's sentence, instructing that he be admitted to AIIMS-Delhi for a comprehensive medical evaluation. Sengar is required to stay in the capital post-discharge.

The court has requested a report from AIIMS's medical board and has scheduled a hearing for December 20. Sengar's plea for interim bail in the custodial death of the Unnao rape victim's father is still under consideration by the court.
