The Delhi High Court on Tuesday granted bail to former Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar in connection with the 2017 Unnao rape case. The Court suspended Sengar’s sentence during the pendency of his appeal challenging the conviction.

A Division Bench comprising Justices Subramonium Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar imposed strict conditions while granting bail. Sengar has been directed to remain in Delhi and not to enter within a five-kilometre radius of the victim. He has also been required to mark his presence before the police every Monday.

The Court made it clear that any breach of the stipulated conditions would result in cancellation of bail.
