Unnao case: Kuldeep Singh Sengar sent to 10 years imprisonment for murder of rape victim’s father

Earlier this month, Delhi's Tis Hazari court held him guilty of culpable homicide for the custodial death of Unnao rape victim’s father.

A Delhi Court has sentenced all convicts including expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar to 10 years imprisonment for murder of the Unnao rape victim’s father. Sengar and his brother Atul are also to pay Rs 10 lakh each as compensation to victim’s family.

Earlier this month, Delhi’s Tis Hazari court held him guilty of culpable homicide for the custodial death of Unnao rape victim’s father. Out of the 11 accused in the case, the court convicted 7 including Sengar, who is also convicted in Unnao rape case, and acquitted 4 others. The court observed that though Sengar had no intention of killing the rape victim’s father but he was so badly beaten that he died of the injuries sustained by him.

The Unnao rape survivor’s father died in police custody on April 2018. According to charge-sheet filed in July 2018, the victim’s father, along with his co-worker were returning to their village, Makhi, when they had an altercation with one Shashi Pratap Singh. Singh called his associates-Sengar and his brother Atul who reached the spot and beat up the Unnao rape victim’s father and his co-worker. The father was taken to the police where an FIR was filed against him and he was arrested.

The charge sheet mentions that Kuldeep Sengar was in contact the whole time with the district police superintendent and Makhi police station in-charge Ashok Singh Bhadauria. He later also talked with the doctor who examined the father. Kuldeep Sengar, his brother Atul, the Makhi police station in-charge, Sub-Inspector Kamta Prasad, Constable Amir Khan and six others were charged with the conspiracy of murdering the Unnao victim’s father.
