A special POCSO court in Haryana's Nuh district sentenced a man to ten years of rigorous imprisonment on September 30 for raping a child, according to reports by The Times of India and Hindustan. The court had found him guilty on September 25; Wednesday's proceeding determined the punishment.
Additional Sessions Judge Ashu Sanjeev Tinjann also imposed a ₹20,000 fine. The reported order provides for three additional months of simple imprisonment if the fine is not paid. Both publications gave the same sentencing date and penalty.
Hindustan attributed the investigation account to a police spokesperson. Police said they registered the case, gathered evidence and arrested the man before the prosecution reached the special court. The available reports did not reproduce the complete judgment or establish whether an appeal had been filed. The child and identifying family details are withheld.
