The Delhi High Court on Tuesday (December 23, 2025) suspended the jail term of expelled BJP leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar, who is serving life imprisonment in the Unnao rape case.

A Bench of Justices Subramonium Prasad and Harish Vaidyanathan Shankar released Mr. Sengar on bail while directing him to furnish a personal bond of ₹15 lakh with three sureties of the like amount.

The High Court also directed Mr. Sengar not to come within a 5 km radius of the victim's house and not threaten her or her mother.

"Violation of any of the conditions would lead to cancellation of bail," the Court said.

Mr. Sengar's sentence has been suspended by the High Court till the pendency of his appeal challenging his conviction and sentence in the rape case. He has challenged the December 2019 trial court verdict in the rape case.
