A special court in Maharashtra’s Thane district on Monday has sentenced a man to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment for raping his 4½ years old neighbour.

Judge DS Deshmukh convicted the accused, Shivaji Shripat Dhadave (32), of charges under relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.

The judge sentenced the accused to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs.10,000 on him, directing that the realised fine amount be given to the victim as compensation.

Special public prosecutor Sandhya H Mhatre informed the court that on October 10, 2016, both parents were away and left the victim and her one-year-old sibling alone at home and latched the door from the outside.

She stated that, the accused managed to enter the house, picked up the victim, and took her to his house where he raped her.

The advocate stated that, the prosecution examined 9 witnesses to prove the charges against the accused in the case.
