Unnao rape case: CBI challenges suspension of Kuldeep Sengar's life term in Supreme Court

In this breaking news update, India Today's Legal Correspondent Anisha Mathur reports that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has moved the Supreme Court to challenge the Delhi High Court's suspension of Kuldeep Singh Sengar's sentence. Mathur confirms the CBI filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) at 9 pm, arguing the High Court erred by delving into the merits of the case and the interpretation of the POCSO Act during a bail hearing. The appeal highlights the continued threat to the victim, who requires CRPF security, and Sengar's influence as a convicted politician serving a separate 10-year sentence. The report further notes that the High Court's order has sparked significant public uproar, prompting calls for a review from activists and the victim's family.
