The sentencing was pronounced by the additional district judge-cum-special Pocso court, Jagatsinghpur. The convict, Aman Razak, a resident of Narsinghpur district in Madhya Pradesh, was also fined Rs 10,000 by judge Gargi Patnaik. Failure to pay the fine would result in an additional six-month imprisonment. The court has also directed the Odisha State Legal Services Authority to provide Rs 1.5 lakh compensation to the victim.
