Devraj Maurya gets 40 years for sexually abusing two minors
A court in a city called Mohali made an important decision about a man named Devraj Maurya.
Maurya did something very wrong — he hurt two young girls.
The judge said he must go to prison for 40 years, which is a very long time.
He also has to pay a fine of Rs 1.10 lakh.
About a year ago, the father of an 11-year-old girl told the police what had happened.
The man lived near the girl's home.
He used to call her into his room by offering her food.
Then he hurt her and recorded videos on his phone.
The judge gave him 20 years in prison for each of the two separate cases, adding up to 40 years in total.
This is how the court tried to keep children safe from someone who hurt them.
A fast-track court in Mohali sentenced Devraj Maurya, a Uttar Pradesh resident, to 40 years in prison for sexually abusing two minor girls in separate cases.
The court handed down 20 years' imprisonment in each case and imposed a total fine of Rs 1.10 lakh.
The cases came to light after the father of an 11-year-old girl filed a complaint in the Mullanpur Garibdas police station area about a year ago.
According to the complaint, the accused lived in the neighbourhood and allegedly lured the girl to his room on the pretext of offering her food and other items.
He allegedly sexually abused the girl and recorded videos on his mobile phone.
The article does not mention any response or plea from the accused.
