After the incident, Uttar Pradesh Minister of Panchayati Raj OP Rajbhar laughed off the situation, saying, "But her home is in Unnao..." when asked about it.

Court ruling
Delhi High Court suspends Sengar's sentence
The Delhi High Court had suspended Sengar's life sentence in the 2017 rape case, pending his appeal against a 2019 conviction. The court imposed conditions on Sengar, including staying within Delhi and not entering a five-kilometer radius of the survivor's home. Violation of these conditions would lead to automatic cancellation of bail. However, Sengar remains jailed for a separate 10-year sentence related to another case.
Survivor's response
Survivor expresses fear, plans to appeal
The survivor, who was a minor when the crime occurred, expressed fear for her family and said the court's decision was "kaal (death)" for them. She said she would appeal to the Supreme Court against this decision. The survivor also claimed that security for her family members had been withdrawn after Sengar's release on bail.
Protest aftermath
Protesters detained, mother forced off moving bus
On Tuesday evening, the survivor and her mother were detained after staging a protest at India Gate. They planned to speak to the media at Mandi House but were taken away by Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel. A shocking incident occurred when the survivor's mother was pushed off a moving bus by CRPF officers. The bus then drove away with the survivor still inside.
Accusations made
Survivor's mother accuses authorities of intimidation
The survivor's mother accused authorities of wanting to kill them and said her daughter had been held captive. She said, "We did not get justice... It seems they want to kill us." The survivor also questioned the judiciary's decision to grant relief to Sengar ahead of Uttar Pradesh polls. A CRPF officer said they were taking the survivor back home under protection after years of threats and tragedies.
