Court sentences man to 20 years of imprisonment for raping daughter
New Delhi: A Delhi court sentenced a man to rigorous imprisonment of 20 years for repeatedly raping and engaging in unnatural sex with his 13-year-old daughter. The court of Additional Sessions Judge Anu Aggarwal, in an order dated May 28, observed, "For a child, home is a space that gives them a sense of security, love and affection; a place where the child is nurtured and is the most relaxing place for a child. The relationship between father and daughter is such that under the father's shadow, the daughter feels safe and secure." The court convicted the man on May 19 under the POCSO Act for aggravated penetrative sexual assault, along with penal provisions for rape, unnatural offences, and criminal intimidation. Additional public prosecutor Arun K V argued against any leniency, highlighting that the convict had raped his daughter over a period of 20 days. During the girl's summer vacation in June 2018, her father took her to the national capital. They initially stayed at her paternal aunt's house before moving to a separate rented room where the crime was committed. The case came to light later in the month when the girl, who was 13 years old at the time and studying at a madrasa in Lucknow, disclosed the crime to a neighbour. The neighbour informed the police. The court observed that the victim continues to suffer trauma, even years after the incident.

"After hearing the victim, it seems that this ordeal is never-ending for her. She was subjected to the most heinous offence and was not only raped but was also subjected to unnatural sexual assault. However, even after the passing of seven years, the victim is still afraid that if her father is sentenced to jail, she will be blamed by everyone in society," the court said.

Delhi: Man sentenced to 20 years in jail for raping minor daughter
A court here has sentenced a man to rigorous imprisonment of 20 years for repeatedly raping and having unnatural sex with his 13-year-old daughter, saying that the victim was going through a never ending ordeal, where years after the crime, she feared that if her father were sentenced, she would be blamed by society. Expressing abject disappointment, Additional Sessions Judge Anu Aggarwal, in an order dated May 28, said the girl was subjected to the most heinous crime within the four walls of her home by her father, to whom she had bestowed her utmost trust. On May 19, the court had convicted the man under the POCSO provisions for committing aggravated penetrative sexual assault and under the penal provisions for rape, unnatural offences and criminal intimidation. During the arguments on the quantum of sentence, Additional Public Prosecutor Arun K V said the convict deserved no leniency for the horrific crime, where he raped his daughter for over 20 days. The court said, "For a child, home is a space that gives him a sense of security, love and affection; a place where the child is nurtured, and is the most relaxing place for a child. The relationship between father and daughter is such that under the father's shadow, the daughter feels safe and secure." It said that, however, at times, a children's most cherished place became a place where they were "subjected to the most heinous crime" and in the present case, the girl was raped by "a person, on whom she bestowed her utmost trust." "After hearing the victim, it seems that this ordeal is never-ending for her. She was subjected to the most heinous offence and was not only raped but was also subjected to unnatural sexual assault. However, even after passing of seven years, the victim is still afraid that if her father is sentenced to jail, she will be blamed by everyone in society,' the court said. It then sentenced the convict to 20 years rigorous imprisonment under Section 6 (aggravated penetrative sexual assault) of the POCSO Act. The court also awarded ₹16 lakh compensation to the victim. The case came to light on June 30, 2018, after the victim narrated the crime to a neighbour, who then informed police. Upon investigation, the police visited the victim's residence, where the minor girl recounted her ordeal. At the time, the girl, aged 14, was studying at a madrasa in Lucknow. During her summer vacation in June 2018, her father brought her to the national capital. Initially, they stayed at her paternal aunt's house, following which he rented a separate room, where the crime was committed.

EXCLUSIVE: Why Anu Aggarwal never asked for her remaining 40 percent payment from Aashiqui makers? Actress spills truth
Anu Aggarwal made her Bollywood debut with the musical romantic drama Aashiqui, co-starring Rahul Roy. She gained a lot of popularity due to the success of the movie. In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Anu revealed a shocking detail. She mentioned that she had not received 40 percent of her payment for the film to date. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Anu Aggarwal shared that she had only been paid 60 percent of her dues for Aashiqui. She said, 'Mujhe aaj tak Aashiqui ke poore paise nahi mile hain (I have not received the full amount of Aashiqui till date). I have only been paid 60% of the full money. They still owe me 40%.' On being questioned if she ever asked for the remaining amount, Anu revealed that she didn't and also spilled the reason. She stated, 'No, it's okay. Theek hai yaar (It's ok). I earned a lot in so many… I earned much more in modeling. I became a brand ambassador.' The actress continued, 'I am one of India's first actress brand ambassadors. Or even actor. Uss time actor bhi nahi tha brand ambassador. Uss time brand ambassador sirf cricket ke hi hero hote the like Sunil Gavaskar and all (At that time there was no actor as the brand ambassador. At that time the brand ambassadors were only cricket heroes like Sunil Gavaskar and others).' She added, 'So theek hai yaar, kya hai... Meri gift hai unko (So it is fine, what is it... this is my gift to them).' Watch the full interview here! During the same conversation, Anu Aggarwal mentioned that Aashiqui wasn't expected to be a success. She said, 'Because Aashiqui in a sense, when I signed Aashiqui, was not a super film, right. Aashiqui was made by a director who was not a commercial director at that time. Mahesh Bhatt was an art film director, so this was not a film that was slated to be the next big hit commercial film.' Aashiqui, directed by Mahesh Bhatt, was released in 1990.
