In a five-year-old case, a court in Bankura district of West Bengal, on Tuesday, sentenced a man to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping a minor girl and impregnating her.
The judgment was announced after the district court recorded the testimony of a total of 12 people during the hearing, which continued for the last five years.
At the same time, the district court also took into account the DNA report of the victim's child, which matched the DNA of the accused.
As the case goes, a rickshaw puller by profession, Basu Kalindi raped the minor daughter of a fellow rickshaw owner in Bankura district in 2020.
