"Breaking: Unnao Rape Case Updates - Supreme Court Reverses Kuldeep Sengar Sentence, Delhi HC Next Stop"

Unnao rape case: Supreme Court sets aside order suspending Kuldeep Sengar’s sentence, asks Delhi HC to consider afresh In a significant development in the infamous Unnao rape case, the Supreme Court has set aside the order suspending the sentence of Kuldeep Sengar, the main accused in the case. On April 30, the Delhi High Court had suspended Sengar's seven-year sentence, which was handed down by a trial court in 2020, under the terms of the Probation of Offenders Act.
