A Thane court has handed down a 10‑year rigorous imprisonment term to a man convicted of raping a minor, while clearing him of a kidnapping accusation linked to the 2011 case.
The Thane Sessions Court delivered its verdict on a long‑standing case, imposing a ten‑year rigorous imprisonment sentence on a man found guilty of raping a minor. The judgment was pronounced after the court examined evidence and testimonies presented during the trial.
While the court affirmed the conviction for the sexual offence, it acquitted the accused of the kidnapping charge that had been filed alongside the rape allegation. The judge concluded that the prosecution had not established sufficient proof to sustain the kidnapping allegation.
The offences stem from an incident that occurred in 2011, and the recent ruling brings closure to a case that has lingered in the judicial system for over a decade.
