Two men were sentenced to life imprisonment for raping minors. (Representational)In two separate cases, two men were sentenced to life imprisonment for raping minors.
In the first case, a 22-year old man was sentenced to life imprisonment for sexually abusing his one-year old relative. The accused took the boy on pretext of playing with him and then went to an isolated spot and sodomised him.
During the trial, the boy’s mother and other relatives had turned hostile. The prosecution led by Special Public Prosecutor, Geeta Sharma, however, called for forensic evidence, which proved that the accused had sexually abused the boy.
In the second case, a 24-year old man, who had raped a three-and-a-half-year-old girl in 2014, was also convicted.
The prosecution, led by Usha Jadhav, had submitted that the accused sexually abused the minor since she was an infant.
In 2014, he took her to an isolated spot and raped her.
