Delhi's Tis Hazari court has awarded a ten-year jail sentence to a man for abducting and rapping one and six-month-old girl in 2019.
-
Special judge (POCSO) Manoj Jain (II) awarded an imprisonment of 10 years under section 6 of POCSO for rapping the minor and also imposed a fine of Rs 1000.
Additionally, he has also been sentenced to a term of three years under section 363 of IPC for the offence of kidnapping the minor. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 1000.
The prosecution had prayed for the maximum prescribed sentence for the convict, submitting that the convict had committed a heinous offence against a minor victim, a girl aged about one and a half years.
It was further argued that the accused does not deserve any leniency from the Court and should be punished severely to send a strong message to society.
