KOTA: A court in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district on Saturday convicted a 40-year-old man of raping a three-and-half-years-old girl and sentenced him to life imprisonment until his natural death.

The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) court number-2 also slapped a fine of Rs 20,000 on the convict, Jankilal Lodha, for raping the girl in October 2018, said Public Prosecutor (PP) Lalchand Meena.
