20 years imprisonment to the father guilty of raping a minor daughter, the judge said – in such a serious case…

Jaipur: A man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for raping his minor daughter in Jaipur. Announcing the sentence on Tuesday, Jaipur Metro 1 POCSO court judge Manisha Singh said, “The victim was raped by her father. No leniency can be shown towards the accused in such a serious case.”

The court said, “The testimony and evidence of the victim prove that the accused raped his minor daughter several times between 2015 and 2020. His crime caused physical and emotional harm to the victim, which also harmed her dignity. The psychological pressure and emotional trauma suffered by the victim cannot be ignored.” Advocate (Special Public Prosecutor) Rajesh Sheoran said, “The victim had lodged a report at Mansarovar police station on December 12, 2020.”

The report said, “On December 1, 2020, his father brutally murdered his mother and absconded. He was arrested on December 9, but his father kept another crime related to this incident under wraps. From the year 2015, his father started doing wrong things with him. He threatened her that if she told this to anyone, he would kill her mother and brother. Many times she would remain unconscious when her father committed crimes because he would give her drinks laced with sleeping pills or intoxicants.

The victim had said, “When she became pregnant in 2016, her father got her aborted in the hospital, saying that her maternal uncle had done wrong things to her. When he informed his mother about this incident, she started taking care of him. Still he used to force himself on her. One day when his mother protested against this, his father killed his mother.”

The man’s lawyer said his daughter had filed a “false” FIR against him in connivance with her maternal side, to which the court replied that no daughter can renounce her womanhood and make such allegations.
