Judge Khalipe ordered that "the accused is sentenced to suffer life imprisonment which shall mean the remainder of the natural life of the accused." Additional Public Prosecutor Rekha Hiwrale informed the court that the victim and the accused stayed in the same slum colony in the creek area here.
On August 28, 2014, Shaikh fed the victim food laced with poison when she had gone to the house, where the accused lived, to watch television. The girl was raped and when she returned home in a disheveled and distressed state, she was rushed to a nearby hospital where doctors confirmed that she had been raped.
Her parents filed a complaint and a case under sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) was registered against Shaikh.
Stating that there were no mitigating circumstances to take a lenient view, judge Khalipe convicted Shaikh.
