A POCSO court in Kota (Rajasthan) on Wednesday sentenced a 19-year-old youth to 20 years of imprisonment for sexually assaulting a minor girl.
The court convicted Chandan, also known as Babulal, and imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on him.
According to public prosecutor Ramhaitar Gurjar, the accused took the four-year-old girl to his room under some pretext and sexually abused her on March 26 last year.
The minor recounted her ordeal to her parents the same day, following which they approached the police and filed a case. Babulal was arrested in May 2023 and has since been in jail under judicial custody.
