A Delhi court has handed down a 20-year prison sentence to a 63-year-old man found guilty of repeatedly raping a minor girl. The judgment was delivered following a comprehensive trial that examined evidence of sustained sexual abuse against the child victim.
In addition to the custodial sentence, the court imposed a cumulative fine of ₹1.10 lakh on the convict under various provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The case underscores the judiciary's commitment to protecting vulnerable children and delivering stringent punishment for sexual offences against minors. The conviction marks yet another instance of courts in the capital taking stern action against perpetrators of crimes targeting child victims.
The conviction was secured under multiple charges related to sexual assault, reflecting the severity and repeated nature of the abuse inflicted on the victim. The substantial prison term and financial penalty represent the court's determination to ensure accountability and provide a measure of justice to the affected child.
