Additional District Government Advocate (ADGC) Devesh Chandra Tripathi said on Sunday the court of Special Judge (POCSO Act) Parul Verma sentenced the guilty step-father Rakesh to twenty years imprisonment and also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000.
Devesh Chandra Tripathi said that the complainant alleged in the complaint given to the police that on the night of September 9, 2019, her husband Rakesh, in a drunken state, raped the ten-year-old girl in the dark of the night.

The girl said that her step-father had been sexually abusing her for three years. On the basis of the complaint, the police registered a case under relevant sections and after completing the investigation, filed a chargesheet in the court.
