When people were expressing their anger against the court order and the convicted former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar, suddenly a woman came forward carrying a placard in support of Sengar. There was a moment of silence at the protest site and then an uproar – who was this woman? And the question is also where did the courage to support the rapist come from?

Who is the woman standing in support of Sengar?

Investigation revealed that this woman standing in favor of Kuldeep Sengar is not a common person, but Barkha Trehan, president of NGO ‘Purush Aayog’. Delhi-based female activist Yogita Bhayana, who was present at the spot, claimed that she was the only woman to come in support of Sengar.

Yogita Bhayana said, “I feel that he is not mentally stable and needs treatment. She will be the first and last woman to support Kuldeep Singh Sengar.” Along with Barkha Trehan, some other people associated with the ‘Men’s Commission’ were also present, after which a heated argument and even scuffle broke out between the victim’s supporters and Sengar’s supporters.

‘Not without evidence, he is a convicted rapist’

The protesters standing in support of the victim clearly said that their protest is not against any rumour, but against the relief given to a convicted rapist. The protesters said, ‘We are not talking without evidence. He is a convicted rapist who has already been sentenced. We are protesting against the bail granted to him and the suspension of his sentence. The question arises – when the court has already convicted, then what agenda is the narrative of support pushing forward?

Now hearing will be held in Supreme Court, victim’s hopes increased

The Unnao rape case has now reached the Supreme Court of the country. This case will be heard in the Supreme Court on Monday. According to the court’s agenda, CJI Surya Kant, Justice J.K. A three-judge vacation bench comprising Justice Maheshwari and Justice Augustine George Masih will hear the case. Apart from this, a separate petition filed by advocates Anjale Patel and Pooja Shilpakar will also be heard, in which a demand has been made to immediately stay the High Court order.

‘This is a fight for justice, we will not back down’ – the pain of the victim

After Kuldeep Sengar got bail from Delhi High Court, the victim and her mother staged a protest at India Gate. The pain of the victim came out in words. The victim said, ‘How will the daughters of the country be safe, if the rape accused are acquitted. I felt so sad after hearing the judgment that I felt like committing suicide. I have two innocent children, a family… how will they be safe if I am not there? He further said that a daughter is raped, her father is killed, the family meets with an accident, yet the accused gets bail. How will my family bear all this?” These questions are not just of one victim but are a direct attack on the entire system.

What is the whole Unnao rape case?

In the year 2017, a case of rape of a minor came to light in Unnao. The investigation was done by CBI and on 20 December 2019, Tis Hazari Court of Delhi sentenced Kuldeep Singh Sengar to life imprisonment and ordered that he will remain in jail till his death. A fine of ₹25 lakh was also imposed on him and his assembly membership was cancelled. BJP had also expelled him from the party. Recently, Delhi High Court has suspended the sentence and granted bail to Sengar with four conditions. However, he is still in jail because he has also been sentenced to 10 years for the murder of the victim’s father.

The biggest question: Why sympathy for the rapist?

When a victim is on the road for justice, what message are those standing in support of the culprit giving? Is this not an attempt to break the trust in the justice system? And shouldn’t the morale and safety of the victim be the biggest issue in such cases?
