CBI to move Supreme Court challenging suspension of Kuldeep Sengar's life term

In this broadcast, India Today anchor Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor discusses the latest developments in the Unnao rape case with legal correspondent Anisha Mathur. The focus is on the Delhi High Court's decision to suspend the life sentence of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has announced it will file an appeal in the Supreme Court against this order. Anisha Mathur explains the legal technicality cited by the High Court, noting that 'Sengar being an MLA does not come within the legal definition of a public servant' under Section 5 of the POCSO Act. The programme also highlights the survivor's distress and her recent meeting with Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi to seek justice and security.
