Sengar’s sentence suspension plea: HC asks AIIMS to examine him

NEW DELHI: Delhi high court has asked AIIMS to set up a medical board to examine Jaideep Sengar, who is seeking suspension of a 10-year jail sentence on medical grounds in the 2018 custodial death case of the Unnao rape survivor’s father.Jaideep — brother of expelled BJP functionary Kuldeep Sengar, who was convicted of raping the Unnao girl when she was a minor — sought relief on account of Stage-IV oral cancer with suspected recurrence.A bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja observed that an independent medical assessment was necessary to ascertain Jaideep’s current health condition.CBI opposed the petition and contended that the medical documents produced by the convict in support of his plea were fake. Counsel for the rape survivor also opposed the plea, apprehending that he would misuse his liberty.
