In Bhopal, a special Pocso court has handed down a life sentence to 78-year-old Pyare Mian for the sexual assault of five minor girls, an incident that came to light in July 2020. The court mandated concurrent life sentences for the remainder of his natural life, along with a significant fine of Rs 77.64 lakh. His accomplice, Rabia Bi, was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment.
Pyare Mian allegedly exploited the girls, who he lured with the promise of jobs. They were brought to Bhopal and subsequently drugged, assaulted, and filmed using hidden cameras for blackmail. One victim tragically died by suicide due to fear of humiliation. The court also ordered compensation for the victims and their families.
