Sengar has already been convicted for the rape of the young woman from Unnao, who was a minor and has been awarded life imprisonment.
Sengar was convicted under the Indian Penal Code and POCSO Act for the offence of a public servant committing penetrative sexual assault against a child.
On Monday, the court had convicted Sengar for the rape of a woman in 2017 when she was a minor saying that the victim’s testimony was truthful and unblemished against a powerful person.
Meanwhile, the CBI, while terming the Unnao victim's case 'an extraordinary one', has asked for maximum punishment to be awarded to expelled BJP MLA.
The proposed new law has been named the Andhra Pradesh Disha Act Criminal Law (AP Amendment) Act, 2019 as a tribute to the veterinary doctor who was raped and murdered recently in neighbouring Telangana.
The family had agreed for the burial after an assurance from senior-most government official of the area that their demands would be met.
The woman, who had survived a brutal gangrape earlier in March, was on Thursday assaulted and set ablaze by five accused in the case in Uttar Pradesh’s Unnao district when she was on her way to the Rae Bareli court to testify against the men.
The police did not register her complain. The woman said that three men from the village attempted to rape her some months ago when she was on her way to buy medicines.
Unnao rape survivor, who was assaulted and set ablaze by five men on Thursday, died of cardiac arrest late on Friday at Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital.
Lashing out at the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav said that 'justice will not be done till the day the Chief Minister, state Home Secretary and DGP do not resign'.
