The Gondia court in Maharashtra on Saturday sentenced a man to 30 years in jail for raping a 6-year-old girl in 2021.
Previously, Principal District and Sessions Judge AT Wankhede found Mahesh Tembhurne (32) guilty and handed him a 20-year prison term under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code, along with a 10-year sentence under the provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, according to Assistant Government Pleader Kailash Khandelwal.
