POCSO court in Gujarat's Mehsana awards life imprisonment to father for raping minor daughter
A Special Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court in Mehsana district on Friday sentenced a 51-year-old man to rigorous imprisonment for life for repeatedly raping and impregnating his 17-year-old daughter by threatening to kill her and the rest of the family. Awarding the punishment to the accused in the case, the court held that the POCSO Act legislature could 'also not have a reason to think that any father can be an accused' under the Act. Stating that the crime is 'unique and serious', the court said, '…this is a very unfortunate moment that this court had to try this case where an accused under POCSO Act is the father of the victim girl… This court has no words to describe its anguish against the heinous act of this accused… During the whole period of trial the body language of the accused was also observed by this court… no sign of sorrow or (repentance) was there… This court is speechless and really shocked to come across such a case.' The prosecution's case was that in April 2024, the brother of the victim approached the Mehsana district police to lodge an FIR as the victim, who had been taken to a hospital after she complained of stomach pain, was found to be pregnant. The complainant informed the police that the victim had confided in him that her father had raped her and threatened to kill her and the rest of the family members if she complained about the incident. Accordingly, the accused was booked under Indian Penal Code sections for rape, criminal intimidation and under relevant sections of the POCSO Act. 'During deposition of the victim … she repeatedly said that she couldn't believe that her own father had raped her… Accused had threatened the victim. This court is really worried for the future of this victim girl.' The court also awarded a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the victim under the Gujarat Victim Compensation Fund.

Minor gang-raped 8 times in presence of mother: Uttarakhand cops
Dehradun : Days after a 37-year-old expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) district leader, her boyfriend and his aide were arrested in connection with the gang rape and sexual exploitation of the woman's 13-year- old daughter, police on Friday said that the minor was gang-raped at least eight times allegedly in presence of her mother. The former BJP leader allegedly used to take her daughter on trips, during which she forced the minor to consume liquor and indulge in sexual acts. She even told her daughter that 'it was a normal way of living', a senior police officer said on condition of anonymity. 'The minor told police that she was gang-raped eight times, every time in presence of her mother. The first such incident took place inside a car in January. The abuse continued at various locations, including hotels in Agra and Vrindavan during their trips, till March. She was also assaulted in a hotel in Haridwar that was leased out in the name of the woman and her boyfriend. During their trips, the woman would force her daughter to drink liquor, following which her boyfriend and his aide gang-raped the minor in her presence,' said station house officer Kamal Mohan Singh Bhandari. 'The woman was estranged from her husband and was living separately since January,' he added. Bhandari said, 'She would tell her daughter that such acts were normal. When the minor once told the woman that she would tell her father about the abuse, she threatened to kill her.' The minor finally disclosed her ordeal to her father after months of abuse, police said, adding that the father then reported the matter to police. Based on the complaint of the minor's father, a case in this connection was registered under sections 70 (2) (gang rape), 351(3) (criminal intimidation) and 3(5) (criminal act by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and relevant sections of the Pocso Act on Tuesday, police said. On Wednesday, police arrested the woman and her boyfriend in Haridwar, and his aide in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut. All three are in judicial custody, they added. 'Our detailed probe is underway. We will question the staff of the hotels at various locations where the accused stayed during their trips,' Bhandari said., The medical report also confirmed sexual exploitation of the girl, police said. On Wednesday, the BJP expelled the district leader from the party. Launching a scathing attack on the BJP, the Congress alleged that the incident exposed the 'hollowness of the BJP's slogan of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign'. 'It is a disturbing case. An impartial, high-level investigation should be carried out,' said state Congress vice president Suryakant Dhasmana. 'She was relieved of all responsibilities and posts in August 2024 for being inactive and not assuming responsibility properly. Now, she has been expelled from the party's primary membership with immediate effect,' BJP leader Ashutosh Sharma said.
