On Monday (16 December), a Delhi court is lilely to pronounce its verdict against Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s expelled MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar for his role in the infamous Unnao rape case, reports Asian News International (ANI).

Presently incarcerated in Delhi's Tihar jail, Sengar is the prime accused in the rape of a minor girl and the Tis Hazari court had already framed charges against him in August 2019, following which the four-time MLA was suspended from the party.

A charge sheet was filed against Sengar by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on 3 October which reported that the victim had been kidnapped and raped by three persons at different locations over a course of nine consecutive days in 2017.

It should be noted that district judge Dharmesh Sharma has been hearing the case on a day-to-day basis since 5 August when the case was moved from Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow city to Delhi by an intervention from the Supreme Court of India.
