The Delhi Court sentenced on Friday, all convicts, including the expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar to ten years in jail for the death of the father of the Unnao rape survivor.

Sengar (currently serving a life sentence in the case of rape in Tihar jail) and his brother Atul Sengar were both required to pay Rs 10 lakh each as compensation to the victims families.

District Judge Dharmesh Sharma of the Tis Hazari Court last week found Sengar, along with six others, guilty of no murder guilty. At today's sentencing hearing, both of them were sentenced to 10 years in prison under Section 304 IPC and 5 years in prison for criminal conspiracy under Section 120B of the IPC.

The court found that Sengar did not want to kill the father of the deceased. He was beaten so badly, though, that he died.

The rape victim's father was wrongly framed in an illegal weapons case and arrested on 3 April 2018. He died while in detention a few days later, on 9 April 2018.

The trial in the case was expeditiously followed by a move from UP to Delhi on the orders of the Supreme Court. Four of the defendants have been absolved in the case.

In particular, Sengar was found guilty in the rape case and sentenced to death on 20 December 2019. The order of conviction was also passed by District Judge, Justice Dharmesh Sharma, who had explained the life imprisonment would mean "incarceration for the remainder of his natural or biological life" under Section 376(2) of the IPC.

Sengar is also facing another trial for the suspected criminal conspiracy behind the road crash that resulted in the killing of two aunts of the rape survivor, as well as the inflicting of serious injuries on her and her lawyer. The accident occurred near Rae Bareli on July 29 last year, when a truck struck the car in which they were travelling.
