Unnao case: Kuldeep Sengar, others convicted of culpable homicide in death of rape victim's father

A Delhi court Wednesday convicted expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar and seven others of culpable homicide, not amounting to murder, of the Unnao rape victim's father who had died in judicial custody.

District judge Dharmesh Sharma also said the facts and circumstances brought on the record prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused hatched another crucial part of the conspiracy to foist a false case upon the victim by planting a country made gun and four cartridges.

The court said the accused had no intention of killing him. "However, they beat up the victim in a brutal manner that led to his death."
The court said, "It is apparent that too many persons behind the curtains were supporting, assisting or abetting the gruesome act but then each one cannot be held culpable as per law on mere suspicion."
