Men Sentenced for Sexual Assault of Minors
Three men were caught and punished for hurting young girls.
One man, Wahid Khan, was caught after running away for four years.
He was originally put in jail in 2018 for hurting a 13-year-old girl.
The police had been looking for him for a long time and finally found him hiding in Delhi.
He admitted that he did not want to go back to jail after his parole.
Another man, a 42-year-old stepfather, was given two life sentences for hurting his stepdaughter.
He was caught in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
The third man, Maru, was also given a life sentence for hurting his mentally disabled stepdaughter in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh.
The courts said these men did very bad things and need to be punished.
Wahid Khan, a 76-year-old convict, was arrested after evading police for four years following a POCSO case conviction.
A 42-year-old stepfather in Indore was sentenced to double life imprisonment for sexually assaulting his minor stepdaughter.
Maru alias Naru alias Narayan in Dhar was sentenced to life imprisonment for repeatedly raping his mentally disabled stepdaughter.
The courts recognized the severe psychological and physical trauma inflicted on the victims and recommended compensation.
