Handicapped man gets 10 years jail for raping woman

A 32-year-old handicapped man has been sentenced to 10 years rigorous imprisonment by a Delhi court for raping a woman on the pretext of marriage.
Additional Sessions Judge M C Gupta held Kinu Munda guilty of raping the 21-year-old woman, a native of Orissa, while relying on the testimony of the victim that she was repeatedly raped by him for over a month in 2011 on the false promise of marriage, though he was already married thrice.
"I am of the considered opinion that as far as the involvement of Kinu Munda in the commission of the offence under section 376 (rape) of the IPC is concerned, the same is sufficiently established by the cogent and reliable evidence," the judge said.

The court also imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 on Kinu, a resident of Shakurpur here.
"The testimony of prosecutrix is found to be natural, clear, cogent, convincing, trustworthy and inspiring confidence. There is nothing in her statement to suggest that she had any animus against the accused Kinu Munda to falsely implicate him in the case," the court said.
According to the prosecution, the woman, received a call from Kinu, whom she knew since her first visit to Delhi in 2009, and was told that a job had been arranged for her.

She then came to the city again in 2011 from her native village and Kinu kept her in his house for months and raped her on the false pretext of marriage and job, it said.

When the woman came to know of Kinu's three subsisting marriages and confronted her, he threw her out of his house after beating and raping her on the morning of December 9, 2011.
A complaint was lodged by the woman at Kanjhawala Police Station here and Kinu was arrested.
