'Normalised under BJP raj': Mehbooba Mufti slams suspension of Sengar's life sentence; alleges leniency in rape cases
PDP president Mehbooba Mufti criticised the Delhi High Court’s decision to suspend the life sentence of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the 2017 Unnao rape case, calling it a “chilling message” to the survivor and alleging that leniency in brutal rape cases has been normalised. The sentence has been suspended pending appeal, though Sengar will remain in jail as he is serving a separate 10-year term in the custodial death case of the survivor’s father.
