Kota molestation accused Imran sentenced to 4 years imprisonment
Kota News Desk, In the case of molestation of a student, POCSO serial no. 3 on Tuesday sentenced the accused Imran to 4 years of rigorous imprisonment. Besides, a fine of Rs 10,000 has also been imposed. The court has recommended giving Rs 2 lakh as compensation to the victim. Special Judge Deepak Dubey made a strong comment in his judgment and wrote that the accused is a person of criminal character. The court believes that if such criminal tendencies are not stopped, it will become difficult for innocent girls to leave their homes and go to school.
The tragic mental condition of the victim prevents the court from adopting a lenient attitude towards the accused. Therefore, keeping in mind the safety and respect of girls, it is found appropriate to punish a person of criminal character with imprisonment. Special Public Prosecutor Lalit Kumar Sharma said that there was an allegation against Imran, son of Abdul Salim, resident of Chandraghata, that he molested the student on January 22, 2020 and earlier in September 2019. Rampura Kotwali police had registered a case on the report of the student. After investigation, the police presented a challan against the accused in the court on March 19, 2021. Statements of 8 witnesses were taken from the prosecution side.
