The Supreme Court put the bail granted to Unnao rape case convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar by the Delhi High Court on hold.
The decision came amid heavy security outside the court premises as a three-judge Bench heard the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) plea against the Delhi High Court order that suspended the life sentence and granted bail to expelled Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the 2017 Unnao rape case.
A vacation bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant, and Justices JK Maheshwari and Augustine George Masih took up the matter for hearing.
