New Delhi, Dec 24 (NationPress) Following the conditional bail granted to former MLA and Unnao rape case convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar by the Delhi High Court, the rape survivor expressed her profound distress over the verdict. She voiced her discontent with the ruling and claimed that BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh had influenced this decision.

The survivor announced her intention to approach the Supreme Court to contest the High Court's ruling. Sengar was found guilty of kidnapping and raping a minor in 2017.

On Tuesday, the Delhi High Court suspended Sengar's prison sentence.

A bench consisting of Justices Subramonium Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar approved his bail, instructing him to provide a personal bond of Rs 15 lakh along with three sureties of the same value.

In a strong reaction to the news, the survivor told IANS, "I want to express that I am not satisfied with this High Court judgment. At one point, I thought about ending my life, but I considered my children and family. I believe that since God has given me life, I must fight for justice."

She highlighted what she deemed a significant injustice within the legal proceedings, pointing to her uncle, whom she claimed was wrongfully implicated in a two-decade-old case filed by Sengar's brother, Atul Singh. Despite numerous bail applications, her uncle has not received any relief.

"Meanwhile, the individual who assaulted me, who had my father killed by his brother, is obtaining bail. This indicates his power and wealth," she asserted.

The survivor made serious accusations, alleging that political support influenced this ruling.

"He enjoys complete backing from Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. I suspect they have bribed the judge, leading to this unjust decision. I will take my case to the Supreme Court," she stated to IANS.

She also described alleged police misconduct during a recent protest, stating that she and her family were forcibly prevented from staging a dharna near India Gate.

"When we tried to gather at India Gate, the police obstructed our dharna. The police are aligned with the BJP. They handled me improperly, despite my body having 250 stitches. I was improperly lifted and thrown into a bus," she claimed.

She further alleged that she was taken to a police station and subsequently released, noting that social activist Yogita Bhayana, who was present during the protest, faced similar treatment.

In the meantime, the survivor's mother expressed grave concerns for her family's safety after Sengar's bail.

"They have attempted to kill us multiple times. We are distressed by this decision. They will find us, torment us, and kill us. My husband was brutally murdered, my brother-in-law is imprisoned, and my sister-in-law and her sister have also been killed; they will pursue us all," she said, further mentioning that the authorities had revoked their security measures.

Expressing a loss of faith in the judicial system, the mother told IANS, "I no longer trust the Delhi High Court. How can they grant bail to such a powerful individual who has committed such a heinous crime?"

The Unnao rape case has been marred by a series of tragic events involving the survivor's family.

In April 2018, her father was arrested under the Arms Act following a complaint allegedly filed by Sengar's associates. Days later, he was found dead in police custody, with post-mortem reports revealing 14 injuries, including abrasions and bruises.

In another shocking event in July 2019, a day after the survivor wrote to the Chief Justice of India detailing her ordeal, two of her aunts were killed when a truck collided with the car the survivor and her lawyer were traveling in on their way to Rae Bareilly. Both the survivor and her counsel sustained severe injuries in the incident, with the lawyer later succumbing to those injuries.

Meanwhile, the court has imposed restrictions on Sengar, ordering him not to approach within a five-kilometre radius of the victim's home and forbidding him from threatening or contacting the survivor or her mother.

The suspension of the sentence will remain in effect during the ongoing appeal process against the December 2019 trial court verdict that convicted him in the rape case.
