A local court sentenced a 24-year-old man to 20 years imprisonment for raping two minor sisters, aged six and nine. The incident occurred in Sarai Akil, and the court also imposed a fine, part of which will compensate the victims. Legal proceedings fell under IPC section 376 and POCSO Act.

On Monday, a local court handed down a 20-year sentence to a man convicted of raping two minor sisters, underscoring the judiciary's stern stance on such heinous crimes.

The ruling was delivered by Special Judge Ashok Kumar Srivastava, who also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000. The legal representative, Shashank Khare, highlighted that the crime transpired when the young victims were lured while collecting berries in their village.

In addition to the primary sentence, an extra six months could be imposed if the fine is not paid. Furthermore, half of the fined amount is designated as compensation for the victims, reflecting the court's commitment to justice and victim support.
