contents We investigate the gravitational lensing of massless particles around a Kerr-Sen black hole immersed in a magnetized, cold, pressureless plasma medium. Both homogeneous and inhomogeneous plasma distributions are considered in this study to mimic realistic astrophysical environments. The light deflection angle is computed, and the effects of the black hole's rotation and charge on light bending are analyzed in detail. The conditions for the circular photon orbits are also examined in both plasma configurations. A comparison with the vacuum case (i.e. zero plasma frequency) highlights the role of plasma in modifying the light propagation, and the results obtained provide a deeper insight into plasma effects which improve our understanding of observational signatures of rotating charged black holes.
