MEERUT: A Pocso court in Amroha sentenced three men to rigorous life imprisonment for gang-raping a 13-year-old Dalit girl, while another man involved in the case got 20 years in jail, reports Rahul Singh.
The trial was completed in 73 days. While pronouncing the judgment Wednesday, special Pocso judge Dr Kapila Raghav emphasised the importance of the girl’s testimony, stating, “It has been established in legal system that in a rape case, the statement of a single witness is of great importance and if the statement appears to be reliable, accused can be convicted.”
The crime took place on the intervening night of April 27 and 28, 2024, when the minor was lured to a sugarcane field.
