Man gets 30-yr jail term for raping 6-yr-old girl
The New Indian Express Jeypore
|August 31, 2025
A special POCSO court in Sambalpur has awarded rigorous imprisonment to convicts in rape cases on Saturday, reaffirming the judiciary's zero tolerance towards such crimes.
In the first case, a 25-year-old man was sentenced to 30 years of rigorous imprisonment for the rape of a six-year-old girl from Sundargarh. The child, who had come with her mother to Sambalpur to attend a marriage, was abducted while playing with other children on the evening of April 27, 2024. She was later found near her maternal uncle's house, lying in a pool of blood, bleeding profusely and bearing injuries on her face.
