"I will not rest until he is hanged," the Unnao rape survivor said on Monday, expressing relief and satisfaction after the Supreme Court stayed the Delhi High Court order that had suspended the life sentence of convict Kuldeep Sengar. Acting on a petition filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) challenging the high court's decision, the apex court also issued a notice to Sengar, seeking his response.
"I am very happy with this decision. I have received justice from the Supreme Court. I have been fighting for justice from the very
beginning," the survivor told news agency PTI over the phone from Delhi.
She said she had faith in the judicial system and added that the Supreme Court’s intervention had strengthened her belief. "I do not make allegations against any court. I trust all courts, but the Supreme Court has given me justice and will continue to do so," she said.
Reiterating her resolve, she said, "I will not rest until he is hanged. I will keep fighting. Only then will my family and I get justice. We continue to receive threats even today."
