20-Year Jail Term for Man in Minor's Rape Case
15 Oct
Summary
- Man receives 20-year rigorous imprisonment for rape.
- Accused must pay Rs 50,000 fine and victim gets Rs 6 lakh.
- Court relied on 18 witnesses and 49 documents as evidence.
A court in Ajmer has delivered a stringent sentence of 20 years of rigorous imprisonment to a man convicted of raping a minor. The POCSO Court No. 2 also mandated a Rs 50,000 fine against the perpetrator.
Furthermore, the court directed that the victim be provided with Rs 6 lakh in compensation under the victim compensation scheme. This significant ruling came after a thorough trial where the prosecution presented 18 witnesses and 49 documents as evidence.
The accused had initially lured the minor by repeatedly sending friend requests and pressuring her to meet. He then invited her to a fake birthday party, where he allegedly administered a sedative and committed the assault.
Following the incident, the victim became withdrawn, and upon questioning by her family, she recounted the harrowing events. Her family then filed a police complaint, leading to the investigation and subsequent trial that culminated in this conviction.
