Unnao rape convict's daughter appeals for justice amid abuse

Ishita Sengar, daughter of Unnao rape convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar, released an open letter on X detailing eight years of abuse and threats to her family, calling for justice through a fair legal process. The rape survivor vowed to continue fighting until Sengar is hanged, stating she has received justice from the Supreme Court. Reactions followed a high court stay order in the case.

On December 30, 2025, Ishita Sengar, daughter of former BJP MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar convicted in the Unnao rape case, posted an open letter on X. The letter details relentless abuse and threats faced by her family over eight years and appeals for justice via a fair, pressure-free legal process emphasizing truth and evidence.

The post came after a court setback, with a high court issuing a stay order. In response, the rape survivor stated, “I have got justice from the Supreme Court. I will not rest until he is hanged. I will keep fighting,” vowing to intensify her battle.

The Unnao case dates back to 2017, involving allegations of rape against a minor by Sengar. The Supreme Court had convicted him, but the recent high court stay marks a development. Ishita's letter highlights the impact of public opinion and online abuse on her family. Both sides demand justice, though from differing perspectives, underscoring complexities in sensitive cases within India's judicial system.
