AP man gets 10-year rigorous imprisonment for raping minor daughter
GUNTUR: A special POCSO court in Guntur has sentenced a 40-year-old man to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 2,000 for sexually assaulting his minor daughter. The offence occurred in Narasaraopet in September 2024 and was registered at the Two-Town Police Station. The girl, a fifth-grade student, was living with her father following her parents' separation. On the night of 7 September, the accused, reportedly in an inebriated state, misbehaved with her. Distressed, the child fled to a neighbour's house and narrated the incident. The matter was later taken up by an NGO and reported to child welfare officials. Based on the complaint, police booked a case under relevant sections of the POCSO Act. Palnadu SP Kanchi Srinivasa Rao monitored the case, with Inspector T Ashok leading the investigation under DSP K Nageswara Rao and CI Haimarao. Public Prosecutor Barkat Ali Khan ensured robust evidence presentation. Judge Shammi Parveen Sultana Begum delivered the verdict. SP Rao commended the investigation and court-monitoring teams for their diligent efforts.
