A Haryana court has delivered a stern verdict, sentencing comedian Darshan to 20 years of rigorous imprisonment for the heinous crime of sexually assaulting a minor girl.

The judgment, pronounced by Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADJ) Sunil Jindal, marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of justice for the young victim.

Web of Deceit

The case unraveled in September 2020, when the minor’s mother filed a complaint against Darshan, alleging that he had lured her daughter with promises of featuring her in one of his YouTube videos. As the investigation progressed, it became clear that Darshan’s intentions were far from innocent.

Trail Of Fear & Intimidation

According to the victim’s attorney, Rekha Mittal, Darshan’s actions were designed to instill fear and intimidate the minor. His tactics included issuing threats and coercing the girl into complying with his demands. The court’s verdict acknowledges the severity of Darshan’s crimes and the long-lasting impact on the victim.

Justice Served

Darshan’s sentence includes 20 years of imprisonment and a fine of Rs 1 lakh under the POCSO Act, as well as additional penalties under various sections of the Indian Penal Code. The verdict serves as a powerful reminder that those who exploit and harm children will be held accountable.

Call to Action

The case highlights the need for vigilance and awareness in preventing child abuse and exploitation. It also underscores the importance of supporting victims and their families in their pursuit of justice. As the entertainment industry grapples with the fallout of Darshan’s actions, it is essential to recognize the value of accountability and the need for a zero-tolerance policy towards child abuse.
