The Bundi district court in Rajasthan has sentenced a man and a woman to 20 years of imprisonment each for the abduction and rape of a minor that occurred more than three years ago.
The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court-1 found Manoj Kumar Mali (27), a resident of the Talera police station area in Bundi, and Devki Mali (28) of Terath village in the same district guilty of abducting and raping a minor girl from the Lakheri police station area in January 2020, according to public prosecutor Rakesh Thakur.
The court also imposed fines of Rs 50,000 on Manoj Kumar and Rs 65,000 on Devki Mali.
The survivor’s father had filed a report on January 24, 2020, against Devki, alleging that she had abducted his minor daughter as she was last seen with her, he said. After being rescued later in the same month, the minor alleged that Devki took her to Sathel village, where she was forcibly married off for money to Bheru Mali, who repeatedly raped her.
