59-year-old man gets 20 years in jail for sexual assault on 12-year-old girl
Additional district and sessions judge Ranjana Aggarwal on Thursday convicted Sadhaura resident Om Chandra alias Chandgi Ram under sections 65 (2) (rape) and 351 (3) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the POCSO Act.
The case dates to Aug 29, 2024, when a woman from a village under Sadhaura police station alleged that her daughter had gone missing and she rescued her from the cattle shed owned by the convict, after hearing her cries from a distance. The woman had alleged that the man had attempted to sexually assault her, but she was rescued before. The man had fled when the woman raised the alarm outside his shed.
A spokesperson for Yamunanagar police said assistant sub-inspector Sharmila had carried out the probe, and meticulous arrangement of evidence had helped in the quick conviction and sentencing of the man. "This conviction reflects our dedication to ensuring that perpetrators of heinous crimes face the full force of the law," the spokesperson added.Ends MSID:: 122884583 413 |
