The father of the rape victim was arrested at the behest of Sengar in the Arms Act and had died in custody on April 9, 2018 owing to police brutalities in custody.

On March 4, Sengar, his brother and five others were convicted for the death of the victim’s father in judicial custody by the trial court which on March 13, sentenced them to 10 years imprisonment.
The trial court had also imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh on Sengar.
