May 17, Bijnor The POCSO court in the Bijnor district of Uttar Pradesh, presided over by special judge Prakash Chand Shukla, found a 24-year-old male guilty of raping a 5-year-old girl in November 2021 and sentenced him to 30 years of hard labor.
Additionally, the court fined the defendant Rs 1 lakh, of which Rs 80,000 will go to the survivor, according to Yogendra Singh, assistant district government counsel (ADGC).
Singh claims that on November 6, 2021, a lady from the Mandavali area of Bijnor filed a complaint alleging that her daughter was being enticed by the accused with candy and was raped. The mother was allegedly on her way to a madrasa.
In some way, the youngster made it home and told her parents.
