Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh Bhagwat took initiation in conducting a speedy trial of the case and personally supervised the court matter

Hyderabad: A fast-track court for rape and POCSO Act cases on Tuesday sentenced a man to life imprisonment for kidnap, unnatural sex and the murder of a minor boy at Balapur in 2019. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 7,000 on him.

The convict, Omer Bin Hassan (25), a construction worker from Jalpally in Balapur, found the nine-year-old boy walking alone on the road late in the night and kidnapped him after luring him with chocolates. Hassan then took the child to a secluded place and sodomized him. When the child resisted his attempt and started shouting, he became furious and in a fit of rage caught hold of the child and bashed his head on the ground, killing him on the spot. He then fled when the locals tried to catch him.
