Event Summary

The United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation (United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation) has approached the India — Supreme Court of India to challenge the India — Delhi High Court's decision to suspend the life sentence and grant bail to Kuldeep Singh Sengar, a former India — Bharatiya Janata Party MLA, in the 2017 Unnao rape case. The United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) against the India — Delhi High Court's order, which had granted bail to Kuldeep Singh Sengar after he had spent seven years and five months in jail. Despite the bail in the rape case, Kuldeep Singh Sengar remains in prison, serving a 10-year sentence for the custodial death of the rape survivor's father. The United States — Federal Bureau of Investigation and the victim's family had strongly opposed Kuldeep Singh Sengar's appeal and bail plea in the India — Delhi High Court, citing safety concerns and threats. The suspension of the sentence has led to protests by the survivor and her mother in Delhi, who also met with India — Indian National Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, highlighting the political and social ramifications of the case. The India — Supreme Court of India had previously transferred all related cases from India — Uttar Pradesh to Delhi for a day-to-day trial.
