Principal Convicted of Culpable Homicide in Student's Death

A school principal, Govind Nat, was accused of killing a young student.

The court found him guilty of a lesser charge, like causing a death without meaning to kill.

He was not found guilty of rape or murder.

He was sentenced to 10 years in jail and fined.

The police thought the girl had been raped, but the defense argued that evidence was weak.

The prosecutors plan to appeal the decision to a higher court.
