Visakhapatnam POCSO court sentenced a man who raped his daughter causing pregnancy, to undergo imprisonment for life and also directed payment of Rs. 10 lakh to the victim as compensation.
The directive follows the official's booking on charges of allegedly raping the minor daughter of his deceased friend for an extended period, leading to her pregnancy.
Within 12 hours after a minor was reported missing in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district, police rescued her and arrested two youths who had allegedly abducted and raped her.
A worrying trend of recent rape cases in the national capital reveal a pattern of the crime showing the accused persons are either neighbours or known to the victims.
