Representative ImageBENGALURU: Within 17 days of cops filing the chargesheet, a district and sessions court in Chikkaballapura on Saturday sentenced a 62-year-old man to 20 years’ rigorous imprisonment and imposed a penalty of Rs 14,000 after finding him guilty of raping an 8-year-old girl on November 19 this year.
Judge SH Koraddi said he convicted A Gangadarappa, resident of Tondebavi village in Gauribidanur taluk, Chikkaballapura, under IPC sections 376 AB (raping woman below 12 years) and sections of the Protection of Children From Sexual Offences Act.
A special police team led by Chikkaballapura DSP M Prabhushankara had arrested him within hours of the incident. Initially, he pleaded innocence but the girl told women cops what he had done to her.
“We filed the chargesheet in 10 days. We had statements of 12 persons, including doctors and neighbours of the survivor. With a request to treat it as a most urgent case, samples of the accused and survivor were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory in Bengaluru and the report reached us within 48 hours,” Prabhushankar told STOI.
“The quick response from FSL helped us file the chargesheet on November 29, just ten days after the offence,” he added.
