Nuh district fast-track special POCSO court, presided over by Additional Sessions Judge Ashu Sanjeev Tinjan sentenced an accused to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping a minor in 2023. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 40,000. Failure to pay the fine will result in additional punishment.
The case dates back to 2023. On April 23, 2023, a case was registered at the Bichhor police station based on a complaint from the victim’s family. The complainant alleged that the accused, along with his brother, abducted the minor girl from her home at night. The victim was later recovered from the courtyard of the accused’s home. The family alleged that the accused raped her at gunpoint and threatened to kill her if she told anyone about the incident. He also alleged that when family members reached the accused’s house to take the victim, they were also beaten.
The police registered a case under various sections of the IPC and the POCSO Act and started investigating. The police arrested the accused and sent him to judicial custody. The Nuh police collected medical reports, witness statements, and other crucial evidence and presented them to the court. “During the trial, the prosecution presented the evidence convincingly, resulting in the court convicting the accused. The court sentenced the accused to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine on Monday. The court ordered that the period spent by the convict in judicial custody be adjusted against the sentence,” added the spokesperson of Nuh police.
