Court convicts man for kidnapping, rape of minor in UPs Lakhimpur Kheri
Lakhimpur Kheri (UP), Jul 31 (PTI) A court in this Uttar Pradesh district has convicted a man for kidnapping and raping a girl after determining her age on the basis of documents related to her education. Assistant District Government Counsel (ADGC) Sanjay Singh said Additional District and Sessions Judge Devendra Nath Singh has convicted one Tribhuvan for the rape and kidnapping of the minor, sentenced him to 10 years of imprisonment and also slapped a fine of Rs 16,000 on him. The ADGC said the court also found the accused guilty under sections 363 (kidnapping) and 366 (kidnapping to compel marriage) of the Indian Penal Code, sentencing him to five and seven years of rigorous imprisonment respectively. The court's order, dated July 29, specified that all sentences will run concurrently. The conviction stems from a case that dates back to 2011 within the Isanagar police station limits. The victim's father had accused Tribhuvan of kidnapping his daughter, confining her for months and raping her, the ADGC said. The case highlighted a discrepancy in the victim's age determination. While her radiological age, based on a medical examination, was reported to be around 19 years, the court gave precedence to her educational testimonials. The ADGC confirmed that the court relied on the victim's primary school enrolment register and school-transfer certificate, which definitively established her age as 15 years at the time of the incident.

Man gets life term for killing Dalit farmer who objected to daughter-in-law's harassment
Agra: Nearly 17 years after a Dalit farmer was beaten to death in Mainpuri for objecting to the harassment of his daughter-in-law, a local SC/ST court on Wednesday sentenced the prime accused to life imprisonment. Police said the victim, Saheb Singh, had raised a complaint against his neighbour's son, Anand Kumar (now 48), for allegedly stopping his daughter-in-law on the way — an act that led to tensions between the two families. Additional district govt counsel (ADGC) MP Singh said the killing took place on Dec 22, 2008, in Mainpuri's Gangsi village, when Saheb Singh, who was in his late 40s at the time of the incident, and his son Ashok were returning home from their fields. They were attacked with heavy objects by three men. Both sustained serious injuries, and Saheb later died during treatment. In her police complaint, Saheb's wife alleged that Anand, his father Munnalal Rai (then 50) and his uncle Hari Prakash (then 52) thrashed her husband and son. Munnalal also hurled casteist slurs and incited others. The attackers allegedly used whips and sticks to beat them. Police registered a case under IPC section 302 (murder) and relevant provisions of the SC/ST Act. A chargesheet was filed soon after the arrests. While Munnalal and Hari Prakash died during the trial, Anand Kumar was convicted and sent to jail on Wednesday. The court also imposed a fine of ₹30,000 on him.
