Rape Convict Flees Gandhinagar Court After Sentencing
Imagine someone was found guilty of a very serious crime, like hurting a child.
The judge said they had to go to jail for a long time.
Right after the judge said this, the person ran away from the courtroom!
This happened in Gandhinagar, India.
The person was convicted of raping a young girl.
Now, the police are looking everywhere for him.
This has made people worry about how safe the courts are, especially since there was an earlier incident.
The court has special rules to protect children.
The judge also made the person pay a fine and gave money to the victim to help them.
