New Delhi, December 17: A Special Court on Tuesday deferred sentencing of ex-MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar to December 20.  

The CBI had sought life imprisonment for convict Kuldeep Singh Sengar for raping a woman in Unnao in 2017.

The agency told District Judge Dharmesh Sharma to give maximum punishment to Sengar as it was a fight for justice of an individual against the system.

The agency also sought adequate monetary compensation for the rape survivor.

The court had on Monday convicted Sengar for rape under the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act for offence by a public servant committing penetrative sexual assault against a child. PTI
