Sengar to be sentenced in Unnao rape case
New Delhi: A Delhi court said on Friday it will pronounce at 2 pm the quantum of sentence against expelled BJP lawmaker Kuldeep Singh Sengar, convicted for raping a woman in Unnao in 2017.
District Judge Dharmesh Sharma said the order will be pronounced at 2.
The court had on Monday convicted the expelled BJP MLA for the rape of the woman in 2017, when she was a minor.
The counsel for the CBI and the complainant sought maximum punishment for Sengar, saying the court must consider the "cry of the girls in heinous crimes".
"It is the fight of an individual against the system. Hence we seek the maximum punishment for the convict," CBI's Public Prosecutor Ashok Bhartendu said.
While supporting CBI's submission, the counsel appearing for the rape survivor also sought adequate monetary compensation for her.
"An adequate monetary compensation should be given to the rape survivor. Since the convict is a public servant, it should be considered while granting the compensation," the counsel said.
Dharmendra Mishra, counsel for the rape survivor and her family, told the court, "The woman lost her father, her two aunts. She has been suffering since 2017. She has been de-rooted from her roots."
The counsel appearing for Sengar, however, urged the court to give minimum punishment to him, 10-year jail term, saying he had no prior criminal record.
"He had a political career without any blemish. Since 2002-till date he has been elected repeatedly as a member of the legislative assembly by the public," advocate Tanveer Ahmed Mir, appearing for Sengar, said, adding that the convict did not have a "depraved mentality".
The court had on Monday convicted Sengar for rape under the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act for the offence by a public servant committing penetrative sexual assault against a child. The rape survivor was a minor when she was assaulted.
