Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, called the Delhi High Court order to suspend the jail term of Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the former BJP MLA, as “extremely disappointing and shameful.”“Should a gang rape survivor be treated in this manner? “Bail for rapists and treating survivors like criminals - what kind of justice is this? Kuldeep Singh Sengar is not an accused, he was found guilty and serving a jail term. Sengar will continue to remain in jail as he is also serving a 10-year sentence in the custodial death of the survivor’s father. The high court order only applies in the gang rape case, in which he was sentenced in December 2019.
