20 Years for Kidnapping, Exploitation in Kanpur Court

In Kanpur, a district court has delivered a significant verdict, convicting two men, Manoj and Laloo, for the kidnapping and physical exploitation of a victim. The special judge for the Pocso Act sentenced both accused to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment. They were also fined Rs 20,000 each, with an additional Rs 20,000 ordered to be paid to the victim as damages.

The case dates back to incidents in October and November 2015. The prosecution detailed how the accused had previously kidnapped the victim in October 2015, detaining her for ten days and physically exploiting her. An attempt to lodge an FIR at that time was reportedly not registered by the police. In November 2015, one of the accused allegedly forced entry into the victim's house, assaulted her, and attempted another kidnapping, which was thwarted by neighbors.
