Unnao Rape Survivor Pleads for Intervention After Accused Granted Bail; Gandhi Offers Support

NEW DELHI – The survivor of the 2017 Unnao rape case is urgently calling on national leaders to intervene after the Delhi High Court suspended the sentence of Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the former BJP MLA convicted of the crime.

The survivor met with Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi in Delhi on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, to seek their support. She voiced her fears for her safety and that of her family should Sengar be released.

“If in five years, he can be given bail, what hope do women in the country have?” the survivor stated to the press after the meeting.

The appeal follows a controversial incident on Tuesday when the survivor and her family were forcibly removed from India Gate while protesting the bail order. Video footage showed Delhi police officers dragging and shoving her into a vehicle, sparking outrage online. The survivor’s mother alleged that police also attempted to prevent them from meeting with their lawyer.

Rahul Gandhi condemned the treatment of the survivor on social media, questioning whether such actions were appropriate. He criticized the granting of bail to Sengar, especially given the ongoing harassment and fear the survivor faces.

During the meeting with the Gandhis, the survivor and her family requested assistance in finding senior legal representation for a potential Supreme Court appeal, as well as relocation to a Congress-ruled state for greater security. They also requested assistance with employment for the survivor’s husband. Sources indicate that both Rahul and Sonia Gandhi have pledged their support to the family in their ongoing legal battle and quest for safety.
