A 75-year-old man was sentenced to three years in jail by a special POCSO court in Bhiwandi in Thane district on Thursday.
On November 9, 2011, Maunuddin Ajijulla Ansari had lured a 5-year-old girl, who resided close by, to his house in Kidwai Nagar and sexually assaulted her, special public prosecutor Vijay Munde said.
A case was registered under Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act after the child narrated her ordeal to her parents.
