Acting on a petition filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the top court issued a notice to Sengar and sought his response.<\/p>\n<p>The CBI had challenged the Delhi High Court\u2019s bail order, arguing that given the gravity of the offence, Sengar\u2019s release was not justified.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the Supreme Court\u2019s decision, the victim said she was \u201cvery happy\u201d with the order. \u201cI have received justice from the Supreme Court. I have raised my voice for justice from the very beginning,\u201d she said. The victim added that she holds faith in the judicial system and does not level allegations against any court, expressing confidence that she will continue to receive justice.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Supreme Court\u2019s order, Sengar, who is serving a life sentence after being convicted in the high-profile Unnao rape case, will remain in custody until further directions from the court.<\/p>\n<p>The case had triggered nationwide outrage due to the serious nature of the crime and allegations of misuse of political influence. The incident dates back to 2017, when a minor girl was allegedly raped in Unnao. In 2019, Sengar was sentenced to life imprisonment. He also faces allegations related to the custodial death of the victim\u2019s father and a road accident involving the victim\u2019s family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday stayed the bail granted to former Uttar Pradesh MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the Unnao rape case and suspended the earlier order of the Delhi High Court.
